Hi all,

Thanks for such kind support of the Vancouver Laser Convergence. It was a great time and although it was a bit of a blur for me I really enjoyed the whole event. I especially enjoyed the excitement and energy that Ted, David, Bob, Ray, Scott and Glenn brought to the event and the incredible flow of the whole day. I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

I can’t say enough about the wonderful way you all treated Dr. Maiman and what it meant to him and Kathleen. I was so happy that they got as much out of meeting all of you as you did them. I think we were all apart of a magical, historical day and something that I am proud to have had a part in. I had some great feedback from speakers, vendors, attendees and the Maiman’s. I have to say that I was thrilled to hear from multiple sources that we managed to pull off one of the most unbiased meetings regarding lasers they had ever been too, Something VLG has been very proud of promoting for the last few years.  

I am so very glad that everyone had the opportunity to enjoy Vancouver at its best. There is so much to see and do here you could spend a life time keeping busy, hey, some of us do!

I think Bob’s suggestion that this will become a high-tech dental practice symposium in the future is right on target. The feedback from the exhibitors was fantastic and they all seemed very excited about the potential for this annual event. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of speakers and a better key note speaker to boot! Speaking of which, mark your calendars, the 45th anniversary of the laser is only a few weeks away!

As for Dr. Maiman’s book’s I still have many copies available, none of which can be found on amazon ;). Now there’s a good story

if anyone is interested come on up to Vancouver and we will set you up. or I could just mail you one.

Thanks again to all who took part and I hope to see you all again in these parts very soon. If anyone has pictures from the event I would appreciate you email them to me so I can get some over to Ted and Kathleen and up on the web site.
