Greetings DPA members and friends. I received the following notification today regarding the annual PST summer conference.

On a related note, J. Paul Holcomb just notified us that Annie Neugebauer won an NFSPS contest. 


What J. Paul didn't tell me is that  he placed in 4 of the national contests this year, including 1st place in one of them!

This is a big deal.
