The 10th biennial conference of DSA came out a success with tentatively reported 2000 plus attendees. A contingent of 17 Class of 1957 classmates attended the conference, and we had an opportunity to get together while dining at Paris Hotel & Casino’s Le Cafe restaurant one evening.
We had 22 patrons (classmates and some spouses) at the restaurant, and they are as follow: The Roses, Keith Thompson, Julian Singleton, Toni (Kaess) Eidson, Bob Scribner, Allie Joiner, The Wildings, Ken and Rita Holland, Herb Pickell, Laurence Plate, Alice Hagemeyer, Alice and Larry Obray, Ron and Kay Hirano, Henning Irgens and her friend, Mary and Connie and Don McCune. It was great for us to be together in large number once again, and we enjoyed our evening.
A short meeting was called for during the dinner. It was reported that the class fund, after the payment of $500 for the Gallaudet Museum project, was estimated to be a little over $200. We deliberated and agreed to donate $200 for the same museum project. Thus, $700 will be the amount of money donated by Class of 1957 for the worthy project.
We are looking forward seeing you all at Chicago/DSA 2011 conference if not anytime before then.
Hugs,
Kay Francis and Joe
