MVP Dana Worley having breakfast. Do I have to smile this early in the morning?
The dinning room at the Seattle Conference Center had to seat around 2000+ attendees. Char/Dana/Frank in foreground.
Frank and I had nice lunch chatting to Excel MVP Curtis Frye (popular book author)
Waiting for Keynote speaker Bill Gates to arrive. 1800 MVPs from around the world (including 62 from Australia and New Zealand). Plus countless MS staff.
The man of the hour Mr Bill Gates. Very gracious. Talked to us and patiently answered many questions
Australian MVPs get together at our regional dinner. Great group of people.
The MVP Party. That's the bar, under the huge titanium stealth jet.
The MVP Party. Frank in the middle. These ladies are the original Pam-AN flight hostesses. Part of the success of the Museum of Flight are all the volunteers who give up their time.
Ginger [MS] -- Ginger and her team worked very hard to produce WinHelp for Vista. Thanks Ginger. If only we could bottle that smile.
