DESERT PEAKS SECTION ANNUAL BANQUET, May 2, 1984 The Luminarias Restaurant was again the scene for another outstanding DPS Annual Banquet. Attitude adjustment hour included viewing Edna Erspamer's display of mountain art serigraphs and Bob Greenawalt's exhibit of antique mining stock certificates in addition to the usual socializing. Following an excellent steak kabob dinner, the program got under way with the Chairman honoring multiple list finishers, plain old one time list finishers, emblem holders and new members. Next to be recognized were the outgoing officers and then outgoing Chair Art Blauvelt bestowed the badge of office (a rather debilitated paper crown) on incoming Chair Chuck Stein. Chuck then introduced the other 1984-5 Management Committee members as follows: |
