I think what would please Sandra the most is to have every researcher in attendance that she has helped over the years come forth to present them. This would best be done at the very beginning of the conference when the president welcomes everyone and introduces the executive board and the museum staff.

Since Tom suggested the idea, he could be the spokesman for the group while you all encircle him and then all shake her hand, hug, whisper sweet nothings in her ear, whatever... If that sounds doable, please form an email committee amongst yourselves to compose a proper tribute (remembering that military-raised me and the Velvet Hammer maintain strict timing during the conference).

I would be happy to coordinate. Anyone who wishes to join us on the esteemed dais on the morning of March 21 in recognizing Sandra's dedication and help to us over the years may email me at bogartom@comcast.net. I'll then do my best between now and March 21 to keep everyone apprised. (I already have Rich Smyth and Jim Garrett on board.)
