My first real visit.

A Presidential visit was past due. I really haven't gone to an FA office since the spring conference. The MIAD office doesn't count.

Cardinal Stritch. May 21st, 2008. The opportunity to do two thing with a single visit won't happen often. Stritch provided just such an opportunity.

I looked around the Stritch financial aid office. Paid my respects to all present. Very nice place. A well oiled machine. Things were in order.

A meeting of the Fall 2008 WASFAA conference committee was also being held. I was invited. The conference will be a good one. The location in Door County is beautiful. The Landmark Resort is very good, http://www.thelandmarkresort.com/ Nice rooms. The conference facilities will provide much opportunity for interaction among all who attend. I'm especially interested in the Presidents reception. It will be held at the Door Peninsula Winery, http://www.dcwine.com/ A trolley ride there. A tour of the place. Wine and food. What else could we want? Maybe a fish boil. A fish boil will held on one of the nights. Hmm....... I wonder. Fish boils are good. A Door County Tradition. What kind of fish? There will be beer.

I almost forgot. The conference committee members in attendance were Amy Hoss, April Newburg, Susan Teerink, Steve Taylor, Debbie Murphy, Kevin McShane , Bill Henderson, and me. By the way. It was Bill's birthday. Oh man. A cake. A home made cake. Nice. Presents. How old was Bill? You have to ask him.
