    Hi!

    I wanted to thank everyone for a wonderful, informative PD.  I am sorry I did not get to go “creeking” with you all (I am going to a wedding) but I really enjoyed meeting each and every one of you.  When you have a chance, can you post your name, where you are from, and your specialty on here?  I remember everyone now, but in 6 months when I am teaching and suddenly need advice, I am of course going to forget who is an expert in what (except for George; he knows everything!)
