I'd like to start by saying this issue of the newsletter by thanking Nora Cisneros TMF for sharing her photos for this issue.
There were so many TMFs/TMFAs at the convention! I'm hoping between the two of us, we managed to photograph most.
For those of you we missed, I apologize.
I'd also like to thank Dov Kupfer AIFD and Pat Shirley-Becker AAF TMFA for sharing their photos as well.
If you have photos you'd like me to add to this issue, please send them to me.
