They are on! But, not edited, so my apologies for that part!

I am back! Thanks Hannah!

I'm disappointed Sammy's not wearing a Hawaiian shirt for us. Otherwise, excited to have him here! :)

Our attendees don't tend to be shy, there likely will be additional questions! Go for it! :-D

Peggy, just sent them meat sticks. They'll come to a virtual meeting.

Send meat sticks or cookies to invite them!

Haha, seriously, like minds!

offer Stonie’s meat sticks

What they’re saying

I hope some of that memorabilia includes the newspaper articles in frames!

“A priest, a minister and a rabbit walk into a bar …”

“The rabbit says, “I think I’m a typo.”

I remember the squirrel story from last year!

Lol Missouri Conservation had an article 20 years ago that squirrels don't have rabies. Remember we saw right after my 6-year-old brother was bitten and got all shots as of the week before.

WTH seriously?

Moral of the story, don't feed or give beer to the wildlife!

THAT one is a doozy!

almost an hour and half from poplars bluff

It is an eight-hour drive from Maryville where I am to Cape Girardeau. We’ve had the Missouri College Media Association there two of the past four years, so that drive has become familiar.

Eight-hour drive? What?

By the way, with COVID, this discussion got put on hold. But, Russell Viers was interested in putting together a program on alternatives to Adobe programs. Do you feel that would be well attended virtually?

Russell Viers is an excellent design trainer...I would always take him up on any offer he provides.

The Adobe alternative would be interesting to college newspapers as well, given their pricing structure.

That’s only 445 miles … where you taking a side trip?

Beth: Did you receive the political info I sent you the other day?

I can see it being useful to MANY different groups.

It’s the zig-zag of the drive: Maryville-KC-STL-CG. Plus a University van with 12-15 students in it.

The small group that we had was a very interactive and good for the first Zoom event we've done!

SEMO Press has been meeting since 1893

Good meeting, everyone! I will see you all later!

I have dudes in here working on the air conditioning....SUPER DISTRACTING.

They are right by my office...

LOL

It's being worked on, I guess. I'm not hot. Well, I'm HOT, but not temperature hot.

I've been on the phone with my A/C repair people too. Blower motor is going out =(
