I’ve written a note below the images, but here’s a link to the 1989 WPA Summer Conference Program. Doug

Today (July 10, 2025) I’m taking part in the CWPA summer conference program, which is happening virtually, in a robust Zoom platform that allows lots of interesting interactions. It made me recall the very first WPA conference (in the days before the organization acronym acquired a C) that I attended, in sweltering late July, in Oxford, Ohio. It was more convenient just to walk down to my basement this morning for the first session. But 36 years ago, we all got on a riverboat in Cincinnati for dinner and dancing (with Susan Jarratt, Mary Ann Cain, George Kalamaras, Lynn Bloom, Bud Weiser, Susan Miller, David Bartholomae, and so many others) on a Friday night, and I do miss those days.

Here’s a link to the full 1989 WPA Conference program.
