Safe passage!!!! Doug Frank FCSI, CCS Senior Member Username: doug_frank_ccs Post Number: 265 Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Friday, April 23, 2010 - 01:58 pm:    I'll be there,, looking forward to my 23rd in a row.

Is that a record? Should we notify Guinness (the record book people, not the drink people - although...) See you there! Anne Whitacre, FCSI CCS Senior Member Username: awhitacre Post Number: 950 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Friday, April 23, 2010 - 05:30 pm:    yes, I'll be there. this may be my 25th institute - -- I skipped a couple in there, but it was a long time ago. first one was in 1982 or 1983 for me. (whichever of those was in Orlando.)

Robert W. Johnson Senior Member Username: robert_w_johnson Post Number: 66 Registered: 03-2009 Posted on Friday, April 23, 2010 - 07:51 pm:    From a historical point of view: Quote from Feb 2005 Fellows Newletter in article on Walter E. Damuck as he became Distinguished Member: "He has attended the CSI Show and Convention for 32 consecutive years from 1965 – 1997." Have no idea if that is a record or not. Bet some people like John Anderson, John Fleck, or Art Miller and others from that era would be right at or above that number - maybe Sheldon knows the number for John. I have attended 35 CSI conventions but not consecutively. George A. Everding, AIA, CSI, CCS, CCCA Senior Member Username: geverding Post Number: 522 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Friday, April 23, 2010 - 10:59 pm:    I'll be there, but now I feel like a rookie - not even into double digits on the convention count. Hope to catch up to all of you and get stories about the "good old days". George A. Everding AIA CSI CCS CCCA Cannon Design - St. Louis, MO Dave Metzger Senior Member Username: davemetzger Post Number: 354 Registered: 07-2001 Posted on Saturday, April 24, 2010 - 07:01 pm:    I'm goin--but lagging behind Doug, Anne, and Bob; this will be my 17th consecutive convention. Looking forward to seeing CSI friends again, at the convention and the SCIP events. Lynn Javoroski CSI CCS LEED® AP SCIP Affiliate Senior Member Username: lynn_javoroski Post Number: 1037 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Monday, April 26, 2010 - 10:25 am:    I'm with you, George; we're wet behind the ears and mere greenhorns. I might be working on wood (5) or iron (6) consecutively, but I'm no where near anything like bronze (8), crystal (15), silver or coral (35) (not to even mention ruby (40), sapphire (45), or gold).

I was surprised; I hadn't counted them before.

Doug Frank FCSI, CCS Senior Member Username: doug_frank_ccs Post Number: 266 Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 27, 2010 - 08:19 am:    I'm going to need a chair after 12 hours of walking the exhibit hall; probably after the first 4 hours on day one.

Have fun everyone! Richard Howard, AIA CSI CCS SCIP LEED-AP Senior Member Username: rick_howard Post Number: 233 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Thursday, April 29, 2010 - 09:36 pm:    I had planned to go, but I have personal business out of the country and would miss most of the show and education sessions. This would have been somewhere around my 25th CSI convention over 32 years. I wonder how many miles of walking I've done on the show floor. Ann G. Baker, RA, CSI, CCS, CCCA, SCIP, LEED AP (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted on Wednesday, May 05, 2010 - 11:52 am:    I'm going - I think I've missed two since 1996, maybe three?? I don't know - it was more than five minutes ago and I forgot. Ralph Liebing, RA, CSI, CDT Senior Member Username: rliebing Post Number: 1190 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Friday, May 07, 2010 - 10:20 am:    MAJOR PROBLEM BREWING OVER THE SHOW NEXT WEEK!!!! Those of us who are going can't decide who, of those not going, to talk about first!!!!!!!!!!!! Safe trip to all those traveling to Philly!
