September 25th and 26th were exciting days for me as I got to meet Lisa Louise Cooke in person!! I've been following her podcast for years and reading her books - for me, it's like meeting a celebrity!

We had brought Lisa in to be a guest speaker for Niagara County Genealogical Society (NCGS). She flew in Friday night and her assistant, Sunny Morton (along with Sunny's Aunt Judie), picked Lisa up at the airport and met the NCGS Board out for dinner at Mericana. Great conversations were had all around and we walked across the street to show our guests the locks on the Erie Canal.
On Saturday, Lisa met us at NCCC where 60 genealogists came to hear her talk. The four lectures that she spoke on were: How to Reopen and Work a Genealogical Cold Case, What You Must Know to Save Your Research from Destruction, Google Earth for Genealogists, and Future Technology and Genealogy: 5 Strategies You Need.
My attention was all over the place that day as I was worried about being a good host to our guests and attendees, live posting of websites onto the North Tonawanda Library Genealogy Club (NTLGC) Facebook page, and still being a bit star struck by Lisa and Sunny.

Lisa provided many great resources for the attendees and many were brought to tears in her closing story. It was a great day of genealogy!!
