After some of the projects I've been involved in locally, I'm feeling the need to focus on one subject in depth and gain some mastery in it. But, like that ol' smorgasbord dilemma, I want to learn it all!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-60593697115286820112015-07-01T20:37:18.155-07:002015-07-01T20:37:18.155-07:00Great post!

I think a good balance of classes, exhibit hall, and networking with others. Even though sometimes I feel I've heard it all before, I find I can learn something I didn't know, especially from a speaker I've never heard before. I do recommend SLIG. It is great to focus on one subject for a whole week and have great conversations with the same people in your class.Lisa S.

At the same time, it always helps to go back and refocus.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-24300602247824566732015-06-08T19:49:39.378-07:002015-06-08T19:49:39.378-07:00Nailed it!Nailed it!Sheri Fenleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720122119370691488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-277714006151335622015-06-06T22:13:15.554-07:002015-06-06T22:13:15.554-07:00Today turned out to be a great day, Far Side!

The speaker reminded us that sometimes, it's the small collections tucked away in local historical society museums which house the very details we'd love to find.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-58998202967618588192015-06-06T22:11:15.556-07:002015-06-06T22:11:15.556-07:00Thank you, Iggy!

I've learned to amend that to include this realization: it's really all about the people. We wouldn't have the stories if it weren't for the people.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-50056629926381407622015-06-06T19:07:11.127-07:002015-06-06T19:07:11.127-07:00Well you should go to Utah!
