[CALIBK12] Carol Shuey Clarification

[Lynda Lincoln]

I echo Jo¹s sentiments because I have also been the lucky beneficiary of
Carol Shuey¹s wise counsel and assistance. As a member of several conference
planning committees during the last several years, it struck me more than
once that, as a planning group, and as an association, we were very, very
lucky to have Carol [AND Bob Skapura at the conference registration desk] as
part of our team. I am certain that past conferences were successful staff
development opportunities due in large part to the efforts of both Carol and
Bob. I probably didn¹t thank either of them often enough then...so let me
say now, THANKS a million for EVERYTHING you did for CSLA.

Jo is correct ­ she is not the only one to miss you very much!!
