As CRW's 2005 Romancing the Rockies Conference coordinator, I launched the Awards Luncheon celebration where winners are announced for all of CRW's coveted awards, including the Heart of the Rockies and Award of Excellence Contests. Oh, no! Where did I put my speech?! [Courtesy of Bill Kennedy, CRW Historian]


"Just Write" partner and CRW Membership Liaison, Mary Webster, won't allow Bill to spend his entire night snapping our pictures at the Friday night plated dinner. This was the only one not taken by Bill at the conference. Thanks, Bill! [Courtesy of Bill Kennedy, CRW Historian]

Critique partner gal pal, Michele Chambers, and writing friend, Louise Suit, relax and chat before the next event. They both deserved the time off since I kept them both busy this conference, with Michele keeping me in conference funds and Louise working the published author book signing event we sponsored.
