    Tucson is a wonderful experience for this industry, thank you all
    for coming to visit me every year. 

    I wanted to tell anyone who has not been here what Rio's Catalog In
    Motion means to me. I will never use one supplier, I have too many
    friends in too many specialized areas to latch onto one supplier. I
    understand that every company has a culture but, Rio Grande's
    culture is amazing to me. I know that no company can afford for very
    long to have a selfish culture but that all company cultures are and
    have to be to the benefit of that company. Rio Grande seems to go
    out of their way to be generous. Rio's support of Ganoksin is beyond
    the right now that most companies have to, as a matter of self
    preservation, adopt. It is far thinking. Rio's development of the
    Catalog in Motion is also sharing beyond what their immediate gain
    must be. 

    I have attended Blaine Lewis' seminars twice this year, Blaine is
    also one of those who is generous with his talents beyond what is
    expected from any business. I plan to attend Kate Wolfes' seminar
    and Kate is also a very generous teacher. I have so many friends
    from the Orchid forum who are willing to give of their talents I
    feel bad for trades or industries who cannot share the way Orchid
    and Rio do. 

    Sorry to get all mushy about those mentioned but, the sentiment is
    real. I look forward to the CLASP conference, I hope that I can
    attend, and for those who are not familiar with CLASP then keep in
    touch with Orchid and find out, it sounds like the start of
    something completely different ;a mix of the trade, art and industry
    I enjoy so much.
