RootsTech - General Sessions
A keynote presentation was a highlight of each day at RootsTech. 6,000 people filled the room and the overflow went to another room with big screen monitors. These events were filled with music, big screens, and lots of energy.
Jason Hewlett was the emcee each day. He was amazing with the huge crowd.
Patricia Heaton from The Middle and Everybody Loves Raymond, is from Cleveland, Ohio. She talked about her large, Catholic family. Her mother was one of 15 children. She, Patricia, has 100+ first cousins! She graduated from Ohio State and one of her four sons currently attends OSU. She even threw out O H - a few of us in the room with 6,000 people said I O.

During one of the general sessions the church made a $2 million gift to the International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina. Apostle David Bednar made the presentation. Michael Moore, head of the museum, spoke as did Martin Luther King III.
