That's one of the reasons were hoping to go because we were there in
1994 and really enjoyed ourselves. Unfortunately, we had to cancel,
since I lost my job on June 2nd and Helena's health has been
declining lately. (Helena has been unemployed for 3 years).
We hope to be able to make the next few, if our finances improve and
Helena is able to travel.

There was only one city bidding for 2009, Long Beach, CA. According
to Portland's web site <http://www.54ndsc.com/> they won the bid.
They also announced the final attendance was 8006.
