Reunion and Conventions

My high school has two class reunions. Our class has one, around Labor Day, which is the unofficial homecoming day for Westville. The high school also has an alumni banquet, held in June, which is open to all classes. At that banquet, the 50th year class is honored, and gets a free meal, courtesy of the 25th year class. I'm just back from that event, and can report it was a fun evening, and I had several opportunities to reunite with people I haven't seen in years.

Looking forward, I am on several panels at DucKon this coming weekend. Since I have an 8:00 PM panel on Friday and the only 9:00 AM panel on Saturday, I decided to get a room. The programming matrix is now up on the web page, so you can get more details, but here's my "thumbnail" list of panels:
