f I’m being honest, we’re running a bit behind schedule in getting this issue out to you, our dear readers. Is it just me or does it seem like January has 45 days in the month?

2022 Charleston Conference: Fond Remembrances I really enjoyed this conference a lot! I know, I know, I always enjoy the conference. One of my favorite innovations this year was a drop-in at the Mark Clark Suite in the Francis Marion Hotel! This was an innovation dreamed up by the magnificent Leah Hinds, and catered by her team of husband Patrick, sister Caroline, conference registrar Sharna Williams, conference mentor Shirley Davidson, and many more. I just wish we could have more of these drop ins! I was unable to get to several of the in-person sessions but am still attending sessions virtually which will be online for the next year. So all of us have time to see even more! continued on page 8
