[Nfb-krafters-korner] Talking about convention

Good idea.  I am unable to attend this year, as I have other plans that
can't be changed.
But a good idea.  Just not one I  have seen around that much.

This post sparked an idea that may or may not work. In general most of us
are pretty nice and not the sink or swim types. What if we tried pairing
more experienced conventioneers with newer attendees? The experienced person
would kind of make sure that the newcomer was having a good time.
