Have you noticed? There’s no “post-party” blues dogging this celebration. The Games may be concluded (for this year) but the spirit of collegiality and inspiration is alive and even growing. It seems that every blog I read on Sunday and Monday of this week was filled with appreciation for the organizers and anecdotes of personal growth.
No doubt it was a time-consuming undertaking for the organizers. Hats off to Miriam who hosted the Opening Ceremonies, Kathryn who was ALWAYS on Facebook keeping the Facebook Genea-Bloggers Group active, and Thomas who hosted the Closing Ceremonies; as well as footnoteMaven who designed the medals. In addition to organizing, they all answered emails, helped with a myriad of questions, and blogged, blogged, blogged.
Congratulations to all the participants; we are already looking forward to 2010!
Denise,
Oh no! ALWAYS on Facebook? You mean I’ve turned into my teen-aged daughter?!
I agree that the Genea-Bloggers are an especially amiable group. Maybe it comes from our shared frustration with those pesky ancestors who won’t come out of hiding. Whatever the reason, it is a pleasure having friends whose eyes don’t roll when you mention the “G” word!
