Special

And
a
VERY
special
thanks
to
John
Hansen
(USA)
and
Marta
Luz
Sisson
de
Castro
(Brazil)
for
the
development
and
production
of
a
commemorative
30th
anniversary
book,
Commemorating
Seminars
Around
the
World
for
30
Years.
For
long-‐standing
members,
I’m
sure
the
book
provided
a
smile
as
they
reminisced.
For
newer
members,
the
book
provided
a
retrospective
of
the
organization.
For
general
membership,
copies
of
the
30th
anniversary
book
are
still
available.
Information
on
how
to
purchase
a
copy
will
be
forthcoming
on
the
ISfTE
website.
