Pics from 2004 Conference

For those of you who might not have seen these pics earlier, Stefan Hall provided a link to a website chock full of pictures from the 2004 Conference. Fond memories for those of you who attended the conference, and a timely reminder for those of who you missed it in 2004 to get working on those proposals.

Stefan's pics are here.
Fiona kindly sent me a couple of pics which I haven't figured out what to do with yet. And of course, if anyone has links to other pages of conference pictures, drop me a line.
