IAJGS2016Discussion Mailing List: Re: A million thanks to all of you

[Anne Kenison (nosinekenna]

Thank YOU and your great team. I wasn't planning to attend. I felt I needed a 
break after frustrations carried forward from Jerusalem. But the marketing for 
this year was so good - new bios and summaries day after day - that I changed 
my mind, and I'm glad I did! Congratulations!
