DPA's conferences are indeed a great place to put faces to names, and, maybe more importantly, make the acquaintance of people with whom I would never normally cross paths. I was so impressed with the variety and volume of new folks at the conference this year. We've definitely expanded our reach into the direct service, treatment, community activism and legal spheres. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for coming this year, and tracking me down at the booth! Let's definitely keep in touch!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-45226017173874842482007-12-10T14:12:00.000-06:002007-12-10T14:12:00.000-06:00I tell you, Debbie, the Travis DA is a lot more re...I tell you, Debbie, the Travis DA is a lot more receptive to change than most of their big-city counterparts in TX (besides, recently, Dallas). But if Earle does retire, there will be an opportunity for changing how they do things, for good or ill, for sure, in the near future.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-66589203648001354782007-12-10T14:07:00.000-06:002007-12-10T14:07:00.000-06:00Yup.

All we are asking for is an open and honest debate, one based on truth, facts, logic and common sense. " NOT " the usual unsupportable self serving agendas that have caused so much harm! We are more than willing to let the chips fall where they may, how come the supporters of this KNOWN FAILURE are afraid to do the same??:(<BR/><BR/>There Has To Be A Better Way!:)<BR/><BR/>Rusty White<BR/>Speaker www.leap.ccRustyWhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519683437346656448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-65925623915024928832007-12-10T08:06:00.000-06:002007-12-10T08:06:00.000-06:00I didn't know you were there, or I would have defi...I didn't know you were there, or I would have definitely looked for you!Pamela Clifton and Christie Donnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10873286290200378185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-70122850173088976182007-12-10T07:29:00.000-06:002007-12-10T07:29:00.000-06:00Welcome back! :)Welcome back! :)Catonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388517503945911587noreply@blogger.com
