Newcomer's Orientation
Wendy Pearle and Beth Rugg provided first-timers with valuable information for getting the most out of this conference, and then helped them get to know each other a bit. If you want to know how to hold a spoon on your nose, you might find Terry Wolff (often seen making roses, levitating, juggling, or displaying a myriad of other talents) and ask him the secret to this skill.
