Conference Fun

Tricia and I headed to Winona, Minnesota for a conference for high school religion teachers. We arrived via Chicago then La Crosse, WI, whose airport is even small than Helena's (which of course brings back so many memories of our whole family flying there for Colleen's graduation. Let's just say that Mom using the phrase SOL made the weekend amazing :).

The conference, hosted by St Mary's Press, was great! It was a great combination of inspiration and practical tips for the classroom. It was also wonderful to meet religion teachers from across the country. I loved talking to a few guys from Massachusetts...definitely had such strong accents!! It was also so fun that Gary was there. I first met Gary as a student at UP when he was a hall director. The joke was that I was on the Gary Hortsch plan to life...and here we were at the same conference many years later!!
