There were B. Dunning, D. Grischkowsky, W. Hill, K. Kirby, M. Lubell, F. Slakey and W. Stwalley. A reception is planned at the Palace of the Governors the evening of Tuesday, May 26. James Cohen is chair for the local organizing committee. You can appreciate how much ground breaking took place when you consider the nature of most Capitol Hill receptions. On any given day when Congress is in session, you are likely to find a handful of such events taking place in Senate and House office buildings.
Some receptions make a stab at serious education using posters, videos and pamphlets.
But it's the food and the bar that usually attract the most attention. True, there was a buzz around the buffet table, and the bar tenders seemed to be performing with aplomb. But the real action was taking place at the exhibits. Everyone wanted to twiddle knobs or tinker with the hardware. Kinds love it and so do their parents when the kids aren't looking.
