[Lnc-business] Hybrid Convention idea

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

PS my statement was more figurative.  As I have secretarial duties that I
don't intend to pass on to anyone else, I will not be at the microphone for
anything this convention.

*In Liberty,*

* Personal Note:  I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome
(part of the autism spectrum).  This can affect inter-personal
communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas.  If anyone
found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas), please contact me privately and let me know. *
