The SRA booth. The convention staff kindly helped us with risers and drape to raise the graphic stands enough to nearly cover the placard on the drape behind. Compare with the photo below.

Egad!! We totally forgot to photograph Jessica at her poster! (Sorry, Jessica.)

After Hours
Marjo, Mike, and Jessica at The Horse You Came In On Saloon on (historic) Fells Point. Edgar Allen Poe frequented this tavern. Beer was OK, we went elsewhere for seafood.
Lisa, Mike, Marjo, and Stan walking on the waterfront. Sorry, no high resolution for this one.
Another photo of the gang on the waterfront.
Lisa and Mike heading toward Barnes & Noble.
The background photo on this page is of the sloop-of-war Constellation, the last all-sail warship commissioned by the US Navy. It is a museum ship in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. (Other museum ships in the Inner Harbor are a light ship, a WWII submarine, and a Coast Guard cutter which is the only surviving warship from the bombing of Pearl Harbor.)
