Kudos to Professor Karen Zimmermann, who helped organize a successful 2023 Wayzgoose gathering for the Amalgamated Printers Association. The annual national APA get-together included a banquet dinner at the Lodge in the Desert, where David Shields gave an inspiring keynote talk about his research on the Rob Roy Kelly Historic Wood Type Collection. Other events included workshops at the School of Art's Book Art & Letterpress Lab; a swap meet; and a field trip to the printshop of Jim Irwin, the last person to run an engraving machine in Arizona.
