Thanks for sharing this Julie.  I too heard nothing but positive feedback from many participants, and the bus tours were also a big hit with delegates.

Lastly, I wanted to thank each of you.  This has been an interesting project and I enjoyed working with each of you.

Jim we were an unwieldy group at times and you did a very good job chairing and keeping us focussed.

Amber and Krishna, both of you did great things and deserve our warm thanks.

I suggest we start next winter plans for 2024……….just kidding.

All the best,

Paul

Subject: [1919-Conference] accolades from non-academics

Hello, all:

I understand if no one is reading email from this address for a while, but I thought I would pass on a written compliment from a non-academic participant to the conference. It is similar to others I have heard, and I am thinking here only of community people who are not academics. I think it was clear that the academics enjoyed it, but this is a little different. It suggests that we succeeded in making the event accessible.

I thoroughly enjoyed the conference, the speakers and came away with a better understanding of the strike and how it was formed.
