2008 IAMPETH Convention is dedicated to Joe Vitolo!

We celebrated the convention dedication to Joe Vitolo with a beautiful award penned by John DeCollibus.

Technical difficulties :o(

The internet connection here at the hotel is painfully slow y'all, which means we won't be able to upload as much video as we planned.

We're having a ball, though. Wish you all were here!!!!!!
