Dennis Lyle and Debra Gray did an exceptional job creating and staging their very successful IBA2006 convention in Springfield. The new Lincoln Museum is an incredible facility and was the venue for a wonderful opening night reception, dinner and awards presentation honoring Gary Fries and Dick Biondi. I presented, part of a panel on HD Radio led by Erica Farber, along with Dave Robbins, Gary Fries, Mike Moffitt, Dick Zaragoza and Gene Ferry. Great to see Bud Walters, Dick Rakovan, Drew Horowitz, John Gehron, Bill Stakelin, Jerry Schnacke, and David Rehr. Caught two sessions, Paul Weyland and Dan O'Day each made strong presentations. My thanks to all involved, honored to be invited.
