While looking through some old files recently, I ran across documents related to the 2004 WHSLA Conference, held in Milwaukee. I wasn't a medical librarian at the time, but recognize many familiar names in the schedule below.
In addition to a keynote, roundtable discussions, and CE, there was a social event at the Milwaukee Art Museum that featured kaleideoscope mania. Anyone remember this?

Ah, yes, I do remember that meeting. Most vivid memory was the experience where our some of our van transportation didn't arrive and we had to scramble to use our personal vehicles to transport some attendees to the art museum. At least they showed up to take us back to the hotel! I learned a lot about chairing a conference at that one.
