I was there. I thought the symposium was very good. All of the
facilities were first rate. All of the events ran very well. No
complaints from me. It was not clear to me where the local club left
off and the national picked up. It was seemless to me. That is a good
thing.

I stayed off-site to cut down costs. The convention center did seem a
bit far from other places to go, but that didn't really matter. Too
hot, of course, which is why I live in San Diego now instead of Des
Moines.
