I am so glad that our paths did cross in New Orleans, if only briefly, and that you found the time to write what I (and so many others) felt while at ALA this year. Your summary is perfect.

I'd like to just suggest one correction to what you said -- while we at Darien Library were very happy to co-host with Leslie Burger (and isn't her election and now installation as President a triumph for the organization?) the Blogger Bash, it was Leslie's inspiration to combine the event with a salute to the Gulf Coast librarians -- and she deserves full credit for that inspired idea.

I met someone on the shuttle in from the airport who claimed to know you very well (I didn't catch her name properly), and that's the closest we came to crossing paths, I suppose! Someday... Walt-

Our paths never crossed in New Orleans, but we saw similar things--as did, I think, almost everyone who went with anything like an open mind. We did good. So did New Orleans.
