30 Years in a One Week Span
I spent last week in the Southeastern US visiting three SOLIDWORKS User Groups, all celebrating their 10th anniversaries. It was a great trip, good people, and good food!
My first stop was Atlanta where Tom Ellis has been holding down the fort for 6 – 7 years now (neither of us could remember if it was 6 or 7).
It was also nice to see former Western Ontario SOLIDWORKS User Group leader Malay Dasai, and, look who made a surprise appearance:
Next up was the WNC-Asheville SOLIDWORKS User Group, currently headed up by Phil Behm. The group’s founder, Wes Cobb, was also on hand, and it was nice to see him after all these years. It was a good crowd, a good meeting, and I got some Carolina BBQ.
Finally I landed (okay, drove) into Columbia, South Carolina for my first visit to the Palmetto SOLIDWORKS User Group. Tony Cantrell is the founder and current group leader, and served on the SWUGN Committee as the Southeastern US representative for four years.
All in all it was a really great trip. Congratulations to Tom, Phil, and Tony, as well as to the support structure each group leader has in place. It’s a team effort sometimes, and these groups have the right team.
PS – as a former avid golfer, the chance to see Augusta National as I drove back to Atlanta for my flight home was too good to pass up. I’m a little disappointed that this was the best I could do.
