EWGS only had one seminar in 2006 the October workshop was October 7, 2006 at the Spokane Library, with Michael John Neill, cost $20.00 plus $5.00 for asandwich lunch or bring your own sandwich.
Susan is probably the EWGS President with the highest energy of any I have known, and she shares my interest in odd records that may have our ancestors history hidden away somewhere. Getting her picture for the records took a lot of running to catch her. :)
