The Surveying Educators in North America (Surveying & Geomatics Educators Society - SaGES) have met
periodically since the first such meeting at Rainy Lake, Minnesota, in 1937. A comprehensive history
of those meetings has been reviewed for a future issue of Surveying and Land Information Science (SaLIS).

I was privileged to attend and participate in the following conferences. I made many good friends and 
created wonderful memories.
