WPGS 50th Anniversary Conference

I had a wonderful time meeting so many of you in Pittsburgh this past weekend. I forget how smart and funny genealogists are in person, and it's a great thing to be reminded of. The society outdid itself hosting in an amazing venue with informative speakers. Here's to another 50 years for WPGS!
