I was looking at an old memory stick and found the following picture. MAC/AMDA/CMAS are all represented.

Hey, Dizzy
Obviously the guy with two beers is a Canadian but who is the the hairy guy to the left of him?

I didn't attend the Boston fiasco :D

Since both Mike and Doug are there it really makes me think its IMAC in Chicago :)

I guess it was Louisville in 03. I haven't been to any of the IMACs.

Starting in the rear right (blue shirt glasses) Randy G (exAMDA BOD), Doug L (exCMAS BOD), Gresham, Steve R, Mike K (exCMAS BOD), Dave V(at the time MAC Country Coordinator, now runs EcoEZ) and the last guy I can't place (probably some exAMNDA BOD)

Gresham, you gotta be mucking with us. Surely you can recognize John Brandt. I'm pretty sure that was the last MACNA before the changing of the guards at MAC. I believe that was the MACNA that Mike Kirda assisted Steve in giving a talk explaining the barrier netting AMDA bought for the fishers.
