Hi from Bellevue, WA,

Thanks for mentioning this conference. I live just outside Seattle, and I may go. In addition to general information, I'm thinking that maybe I could find a better local doctor.

Hi again from Bellevue WA,

Unfortunately, I just found out that it's too late to register for this conference. I'm surprised to see that the University of Washington School of Medicine is so active in the area of vasculitis. I had no idea!

Hi again from Bellevue WA,

Although the Vasculitis Foundation web site says that the conference is closed, I called and found that I could still register. So I do plan to go tomorrow.

Awesome- do you want to connect before hand? My husband and I are driving up today from Portland. We could meet at 9 am

Hi--That would be great! Maybe we could meet at the check-in desk at 9:00. (I was told to pay at the check-in desk because I registered so late.) I'll wear my bright green parka--I think it will stand out in a crowd. I'm medium height and have dark brown hair (unfortunately I've lost a lot of my hair thanks to PMR and prednisone.)

Looking forward to meeting you,

Judy Boyce

Hi Judy

9am is great- I will be in navy slacks, navy and cream top and cream sweater. I also have dark brown hair, cut in a bob and a cheerful round face with pink cheeks compliments of prednisone ☺️! Looking forward to meeting you!

Best,
