SCJ
BRO & Friends,
a
decade plus and counting.
Our first conference was
the SCSC in Cleveland, OH, October 2000. In the group were RC professors Gary
G. Gibbs, Whitney A.M. Leeson, James M. Ogier, & Florinda Ruiz. Karen
Harris, our office manager, was there as well, along with student interns Laura
Roberts & Timothy Leitzke.
What we learned very
quickly, and as happens especially at the International Congress on Medieval
Studies at Kalamazoo, is that our table in the exhibits hall becomes a locus
for people to meet and talk. Here is Katherine French (SUNY New Paltz) talking with Mary Hill Cole (Mary Baldwin College).
The second picture has Karen, Tim, & Laura in front of the Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame.
And here we are, exhausted,
on the way home to Roanoke.
And then we went to
Denver, CO in 2001. Our student interns were Laura Haffley
and Shannon Meyer.
We met
up with several friends in Denver, including John Schofield, formerly of the
Museum of London.
And to
San Antonio, TX in 2002. This time we had Gary
G. Gibbs, Whitney AM Leeson, James M. Ogier, special guest historian, Michael
Hakkenberg, Karen Harris, and student interns Jeremy Shafer and Laura Haffley.

The 2003 meeting of the
SCSC was in Pittsburgh. We drove. In two cars! PhDs driving! Both cars got lost
at different parts of the journey between Roanoke, VA & Pittsburgh, PA. But
we made it! Our student interns were April Sterba and
Erika Arbogast. Besides the usual BRO crew (Gibbs,
Leeson, Ogier, & Harris), we were joined by Art Historian Jane Long.
In 2004, we went to
Charleston, SC, for SEMA (the South East Medieval Association). Our two
students were James Hudson and James Heckman. RC professors were Susan
Millinger, Gary G. Gibbs, and James M. Ogier.
Among our interns in
2005 was Lisa Dinkle, who, unfortunately, did not get
to travel to a conference.
Here’s an official pr
photo from Spring 2005.
In Fall
2005, the BRO crew went off to Atlanta for the SCSC. Our student assistant that
semester was Hannah Howard.
In 2006, we went to Salt
Lake City, UT. The crew included the usual (Gibbs, Leeson, Ogier, &
Harris), but we were joined by Paul Hinlicky of the Religion Dept at RC. Our
student intern in 2006 was Christine Vollbrecht.
Here
we are joined by Caroline Litzenberger (Portland
State University) and John Cooper (University of York).
