Get away to Hot Springs, <1/2 hour from Discovery Ski. Fingers crossed for 2 days on the slopes and 1 day of rest, learning about landscape and tree care. The pruning debate will be unique!

I would love to sit in on this conference if for nothing else but to hear the two hour debate on retrenchment pruning moderated by Dr.John Ball between Dr. Linda Chalker-Scott and Guy Meilleur. My money for the win would be on Guy.

Unfortunately, it is ridiculously expensive at $360 each for members and $495 each for non members. That's $990 just for my wife and I as non members, or $770 if we paid for membership. That is a lot of money for us just to sit in for one discussion.

Prices have been going up all over; inflation and all that. I just paid $1200 for a 3-day conference. It was worth it, for the networking as much as the edjamakation.
Sorry if you guys can't make it. We have shared so much online, it would be good to meet!
I don't know much about the org. I presented in Billings a year ago for another MT org. Like ISA and TCIA, merger seems logical.
Sure it would be complicated, but if Honda and Nisssan can do it.....
