Hi there, I'm Steve Saunders. What's your name?
I'm Patti Whitney. Isn't this convention great?
Yes it is, better than I expected it would be. The presenters have been first rate. Is this the first conference you've been to?
No, I've been coming for the last 3 years. Each year keeps getting better. Where are you from?
I'm from Long Island, New York. What about yourself?
I'm from the other side of the coast--Los Angeles.
Wow. I really like California. . . the weather there is much better than the East Coast.
Have you been to California?
Just once. Quite a few years ago we took the kids to Disneyland on our vacation. They had a blast.
How many kids do you have?
Two, a boy and a girl. They're already grown now.
Well, California's changed over the last little while. You should come back out sometime.
