Spring Symposium '99

Thanks to the hard work of the symposium committee, Wade Garnto, Jim Wright and Troy Bledsoe (with many volunteers) this years symposium was a big success. I have never seen so many door prizes. I know that I will enjoy my Grizzly ball cap for years! Really, the prize committee, Fred Cox, did a fabulous job.

The speakers this year, Bob Flexner and Eddie Hamrick were excellent. For those of you who missed it, well that made more room for the rest of us and was your loss. Try to be there next year.

Hats off to everyone that worked putting this together. And a special thanks to Georgia Hardwoods in Buford GA for hosting us again this year.

Please enjoy the following pictures and excuse the quality the light was a little dim.
