For SEA 23, we asked Gordon Sayre to share a memory from a past biennial: '2005, Alexandria, Ralph Bauer invited me to a party at his home near College Park. We drove in his car on the Beltway in the pouring rain, and the passenger side wiper wasn’t working. It was a wild ride.'

Before SEA 23, we asked Susan Imbarrato to share a memory from a past biennial: 'Overall, a sense of gathering and community; Charleston in 1999 was a revelation in this regard and this has continued in each of the SEA Biennials going forward.'

Before SEA 23, we asked Tim Sweet to share a memory from a past biennial: “Williamsburg, 2007: Jeff Richards said to me, after a paper on 18th c. theories of the mammoth's extinction, ‘Fascinating, but I have no idea what you were talking about.’” 🤣

SEA 2023 participants, you should have received an email with pre-conference updates from Ralph Bauer over the Memorial Day weekend. We'll see you at UMD next week!
