The Pittsburgh symposium in 2008 is how I met Sukie Crandall. Sure, I'd heard about her and read her posts, but finally I got to meet her. Bill and I picked her up in New Jersey and drove across Pennsylvania together to get to Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania is one very wide state, so we had a lot of time to get to know each other, and it was a wonderful treat. <http://gibsonhill.org/ferrets/2008/faces/source/img_0243-crandall-carley.html> Travis "BFF" Livieri proposed to April "Big-ol-name" in front of us all: <http://gibsonhill.org/ferrets/ifcdisplay/pittsburgh/source/img_0315-pittsburgh.html > <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efml6Pi0rQY> <http://gibsonhill.org/ferrets/2008/faces/source/img_0340-travis-april.html> Callie Ferret Danced in the Moonlight: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIllN_iPEKI> Several guys allowed themselves to be shaved bald in order to raise money for ferrets: <http://gibsonhill.org/ferrets/2008/faces/source/img_0845-murray-jerry.html> <http://gibsonhill.org/ferrets/2008/faces/source/img_0914-vanderbush.html> We have loads of other photos and videos from Pittsburgh ...
