Here is another of the finest two day conferences in the US, in Lake Geneva,
WI on March 13 & 14, 2002. See www.wmcpa.org for details.
Come and see John Earl, Jon Paris, Susan Gantner, Trevor Perry, Randall
Munson, Larry Bolhuis, Carol Miner, Fant Steele and others...

Not that I'm biased one way or the other or anything like that!
