A sample from the Quads: Kim & Reggie Harris, SONiA and disappear fear, Meg Braun, Cary Cooper. MCs were Scott Alarik and Mary Sue Twohy (though I am horrified to find I failed to take a photo of her on stage - sorry about that, Mary Sue!), with interpreter Jody Prysock. I need a Time Turner or some clones for next year to get more of the Quads and still chat with people!
