Smile and Say “ECW”!

And this wasn’t even all of us….

Fourth Row: Kris White, Dan Welch, and Chris Kolakowski

Back: Lee White, Ryan Quint, Rob Orrison

A number of our regulars weren’t able to make to Spotsylvania this year, but they were with us in spirit, including Jimmy Brooks, Bert Dunkerly, Meg Groeling, Derek Maxfield, and Eric Wittenberg. Also missing, our treasurer, Jennifer Mackowski, who was behind the scenes tending to business.

The symposium has proven to be an important time for us to not only get together and meeting our readers and share our scholarship, but it’s become a treasured time for face-to-face interaction for a peer group that is, quite literally, spread out all over the country.

Our thanks again to everyone who made this year’s symposium such a success!

Great discussion with other attendees. With pass the word about ECW. You guys have it figured out. The right combination of education, information, opinion and especially, HUMOR!!
