Thank you for being with us over these past three days. Its been very exciting for us to see how excited and engaged history educators are. Thank you so much for that. If i didnt say it, im grace leatherman. We are loving doing this online conference with you. Its a pleasure to be with you, because really there is no kind of person i more enjoy talking with than teachers of history.
