Duncan attends most Write Brains and quarterly workshops where he:

1. Sets up tables and chairs.
2. Prepares really good coffee.
3. Bravely serves as a lemonade taster.
4. Rolls around the evil red cart (the bookstore).
5. Runs the cash register at the bookstore.
6. Is friendly and courteous to everyone.
7. Tears down the aforementioned tables and chairs.
8. Bottom line, Duncan does everything that needs doing willingly and with a smile. He relieves the NCE crew of most of the hard physical labor, and gives us tremendous peace  of mind in knowing that he'll be there, that he'll work hard, and that he'll make sure everything is done right. The monthly Write Brains and quarterly workshops just wouldn't be possible without him If it wouldn't embarrass him, we'd tell him we love him. :-)

Charlie Rush retires from the PPW Board of Directors in 2008, after being an invaluable asset to the organization for a number of years. Charlie defined many of the strategies that helped PPW grow into one of the most respected writers' organizations in the country, and built PPWC's reputation as the friendliest conference around. We could fill a book with Charlie's accomplishments, and we're exceptionally fortunate that he will still be available as an advisor and mentor in his retirement.
