It was so good to see so many D-OGS gathered together to wish one another Happy Birthday last night. It was a great turnout. I guess we should be about one hundred and twenty by now in dog years, right? It seems the quiz was of pretty much equal difficulty for genealogists, locals, spouses and anyone who took a try at it. The variety of questions you submitted for the quiz this year was very broad and the subjects were interesting. The clustering of scores in big groups after the first three or four places was indicative of a common knowledge base, and questions that suited the group. Cathy Elias' efforts throughout the year provided a table full of prizes for folks to choose from so no one went home with empty hands. Except the folks who left their cell phone, doggy bag of dinner, notebook, and overcoat of course. I hope everyone finally got reunited with their "stuff". Of course I'm leading up to something, so here it is. We're planning on a quiz again for the 2008 birthday meeting, and I'd like to start receiving your submissions for the quiz just as soon as you think of them. It's good to avoid a last minute scramble, and I'll take your questions as soon as you send them. Wed like to have more "distant D-OGS" participation if at all possible. Just because you're not able to come to the meetings doesn't make you any less a member, in fact this is one way you can actively participate in your society so please plan to add a question or two for us. If you'd like to see the questions from this year's quiz, they're going to be placed on the members' page of the D-OGS web site. Why not take the quiz before you view the answers and see how you would have fared? Thanks for your help. Carol ************************************** Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
