A very fun day. I volunteered at the Conference Registration Booth and had a wonderful time meeting everyone. Then it was off to listen to some really interesting presentations. Unfortunately I had to leave for a prior engagement, so I was not able to attend the Friends of the Sherlock Holmes Collections Meeting.
