I had a fun time Saturday, making four presentations at the annual Bend Genealogical Society Spring Seminar in Bend, Oregon. It was a good-sized crowd, which surprised me since it was a beautiful spring day. I would have thought everyone would have been enjoying the weather outdoors. This group was very receptive to the presentations I offered on a variety of technical topics.
I had never been to Oregon's high desert country before and found it to be a pleasant place. Bend isn't too far from Mount Saint Helens, an active volcano. However, no volcanoes exploded during my visit and I think everyone enjoyed themselves at the Bend Golf and Country Club where the presentations were held.
I would like to thank everyone involved in putting on Saturday's event with special thanks to Jinny Collins and Teddie Allison who both made sure my needs were met.
The Bend Genealogical Society is an active group that always puts a lot of effort into its annual spring seminars. The society also hosts monthly meetings as well as "First Tuesday" mentoring sessions to assist genealogy newcomers with their research.
