    Girls,
    I will provide the details later, but my one book is finally published and out, and I have been invited to participate in THE BIGGEST AND BEST labor history conference later this year. AND - it looks like the school I teach at part-time will pay for me to attend!

    Wow!

    What a change from 4 years ago at this time. Well, my bank account still sucks, but at least there is something to cheer about.

    Wow, great news Mere,
    We really have come a long way baby....seriously, from what I have seen in just the last 10-15 years, we have made great strides. Especially when, I look back at the way things used to be. I am confident that these advances for acceptance will keep moving forward. But we have to keep up the public image of creditability. There are things that I have done over the last few years that at one time would have been unheard of.
    Congratulations Mere, this is the kind of PR that keep us moving forward.....

    Congratulations, Meredith!

    It's a shame that they won't sponsor a week-long tour on a cruise ship for you, but hey--your book is published.

    Guess that means I have to buy a copy now....

    Luv 'n hugs,

    Mina
