The 5th Biennial NSN Foundation Conference is one for the books. The
last scone crumb has been brushed away and the last evidence of cream
and jam has been daintily dabbed off our mouths.
We had a great time in The Alice. The dedication of the Nevil Shute
Memorial Garden was a moving ceremony. The Alice Springs Public Library
did a beautiful job creating the garden and it is a wonderful memorial
to Nevil. There was a lot of media coverage and great local interest.
The presentations were first rate and the excursions were memorable.
Those who were still around Friday evening got to meet Bruce, a seven
month old red kangaroo. I've begun reading A Town Like Alice to him in
the hopes of hooking a new generation (and specie) on Shute. Stay
tuned! Thank you to all who attended. Your enthusiasm and energy made
this a fantastic week!
