Brian,
Thank you for including the picture. Jan and I must have appeared to be wild drivers — they wouldn’t give us the keys! Just kidding — I’m sure they would have been more than happy to have us take a little ride around the parking lot. They were very kind. I expect to see them again in DeKalb, Illinois on July 3rd. If I do, may I send more photos?
Keep up the good work!

Yep, would love to see phots from their further adventures. Also, would love to post more photos from the conference if you or anyone else would be kind enough to send some.
