The conference was tremendous! To meet, be with and listen to some of our top-notch researchers and doctors, whose work validates our very existence, is beyond my mere words. And it was such an added thrill to be with friends -- those I'd only known through e-mail exchanges or phone calls, as well as those I've visited with in person. For us to be together for two and a half days, and evenings too, was one of life's PRICELESS events.
