[Siguse-l] thank you to everyone - SIG USE 10th Anniversary

[Barbara Wildemuth]

On behalf of all the members of SIG USE, I want to especially thank Crystal 
for coordinating all the 10th anniversary activities. As someone who didn't 
have to do very much work for it, but got to enjoy all the benefits from 
it, I very much appreciate the way that Crystal approached this 
many-faceted endeavor and pulled it all of in great style!

Thanks, Crystal!

Barbara
