face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>I am not
sure that there is anything beyond balloons. For me they are the ultimate! Of
course, I might be prejudicially partial, but then again I was introduced to
the whole matter by a master. You will recall the gathering of 2108 German
Psychiatrists which Michael Pannwitz and I facilitated several years ago. It
took place in the town of <st1:City w:st="on">Wurzburg</st1:City> (sp?), and
because Michael was closer (<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Berlin</st1:place></st1:State>)
he took responsibility for logistics.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=3 color=red
face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>The town
of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Wurzburg</st1:place></st1:City> is
a lovely place, and has a most delightful convention center. Unfortunately the
main hall was not of sufficient size to handle an Open Space of record
proportions. The solution was brilliant! Two circus tents in an open field! So
we had the space, but also a problem. How do you designate break out areas for
what turned out to be 236 groups? Of course you could put signs around
the edges, but tent walls tend to be rather low and all the people would be
mushed on the outside. Michael came up with a winner. Helium filled balloons
tied to a sack of sand, each bearing a special number. Just imagine a large
circus tent with 236 colored balloons dancing all over the floor. And it got
better.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

posting breakout space designations was a problem – how would you handle
the essential signs (Principles and Law) to say nothing of Butterflies and
Bumble Bees? Michael came through gloriously. Each sign was taped to a thin
stick to which were attached half a dozen balloons. Let loose, they floated
elegantly about the tent. And much more of the same with the Bumble Bees and
Butterflies! Lots and lots – floating free! </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
