ANNUAL MEETING |
Join
us for the 70th annual meeting of S&D!
As usual, the meeting
will be held in Marietta, with the base of operations being the Hotel
Lafayette. All members and friends are invited to attend, and a special
invitation is issued to the Midwest Riverboat Buffs.
On
Friday evening, join us for the mixer at the Lafayette. Frank Pollock
will reminisce about his days at the Ward Engineering Works during the
transition form steam to diesel. This is the time to meet friends old
and new. A cash bar is available, and there are usually a number of
steamboat models, artifacts and artwork on display.
Saturday morning is the annual business meeting, with reports from
officers and the chapters. All members are welcome and members may vote
on any item before the general membership.
Lunch Saturday will be a box lunch on the grounds of the Ohio River
Museum. Bring a blanket and enjoy a whistle blow and some calliope
playin’, as Nelson Jones of Madison Coal and Supply Co. will have their
steam barge at the museum landing! Who knows which “perfessers” might
show up to play???
The
Saturday evening banquet will be followed by a presentation from former
S&D President and Reflector editor J.W. “Woody” Rutter, entitled
“Seventy Years of S&D”. It should be a great presentation!
