As usual, Alki Editorial Committee members anchor this conference issue. The articles in this conference issue speak for themselves. Thanks to all who contributed.
Photographer Rose Ferri of Yakima worked our conference for the second straight year, circling back several times into each session, trying to photograph every speaker possible. We’re hoping Rose will be able to cover the Spokane conference for us next year, but she might be in Scotland at that time, documenting an archeological expedition. Conference photography is grueling, and she’s got the stamina and attention to detail it takes to produce good photos.
Alki has experienced some recent comings and goings. I want to welcome Maryan E. Reynolds Scholarship winner Linda Johns to the committee. Linda is already off to a good start, and we look for more good things from her. And while we say goodbye to outgoing Alki Committee members Nicole Campbell and Cheryl Farabee, we are pleased to welcome Lynn Barnes of Pend Oreille Library District and Rayette Sterling of Spokane Public Library. Thanks to Nicole and Cheryl. We are also very happy to report that David Wright of Seattle Public Library has agreed to regularly contribute the “I’d Rather Be Reading” column. Onward to 2005!
