September 7 A Visit to the NAAEE Offices

Sue Bumpous, the program and communications manager, took me to the NAAEE offices, so I could meet everyone there. My favorite part, at least at the beginning of the day, was riding the Metro without being in a suitcase. We got on the blue line at Franconia, got off at Metro Center, then rode the red line to Dupont Circle.  I got to put the ticket in at the beginning and put it back in when we got off the train.

At the NAAEE offices, I got to help a lot of people. Dee was swamped with conference registrations. That, they tell me is a good thing. If you didn't register, you can still come to the conference but you have to pay an extra $50 at the door. That is a lot of turtle food. Well I don't really pay for my food. I mostly look for worms and then eat them. 

                                                                             


Pepe Marcos-Iga was in town from Arizona and needed my help with ideas for the 40th anniversary program. 

Gus Medina needed my help too. I think we were selecting pictures for the opening program, but I can't quite remember.

I was hoping to meet Linda Rhoads, the acting executive director, but she had some appointments out of the office. Guess I'll have to wait for the conference.


 By the time I was done at the NAAEE office, I was pretty tired. Tucked my head back in my shell all the way back home on the Metro.
