ALABI 2008 at Mercer University is now in the books. I sincerely enjoyed spending time with everyone who attended. I am always encouraged by the camaraderie and collegiality that exists at our meetings, and this year was no different. Every year I walk away from this meeting thinking, “I love being an archivist. I love this field. I love serving Baptists. I love spending time with my colleagues in other Baptist institutions.” This year was no different.
All of those who worked towards bringing ALABI together this year are to be heartily commended. The officers arranged a wonderful meeting, and Laura Botts of Mercer University deserves a special thanks for being such a capable and welcoming host. The hospitality everyone received at Mercer was exceptional.
