November
22, 2008 (Fredericksburg, VA) District
7610 hosted a very successful Institute at Mary Washingon
University in Fredericksburg, VA on the 22nd of November.
Ken Tillman did his usual great job of coordinating with
UMW so that everything went smoothly. He was
assisted by Roy Werner of the Rappahannock club who will
take over from Ken next year, Ken also arranged a
great faculty dinner at La Petite Auberge on Friday
evening. The picture below shows some of the
particpants and faculty enjoying the cuisine at the MWU
student dining facility. It wasn't like La Petite
Auberge, but there was great variety and no
limits!
In addition to the District 7610 faculty of
Andy Turner, Scott Mills, John Veldhuis, Johnny Chapman
and Carol Foley, Jim Probsdorfer joined us from District
7600 and Stan Cahn from DIstrict 7770. George Tyson,
who will be the District 7610 RLI Chair for 2009-2010 was
also on hand to observe and help out.
Nine particpants received their RLI pins
in a ceremony that had to be a first for RLI because the
group included two husband and and wife teams!
In
the photo to the right, DG Chuck Davidson, who was a Part
I participant, rests after the strenuous effort of pinning
and congratulating our grads. Behind him, left to
right are Rick Neldon and Hugh Hamilton, Vienna; Chip
Willlis, Rappahannock; George and Julie Franklin, Louisa;
Ronal Butler, Alexandria; Bill and Juanita Cawley, and
Colleen Bonadonna, all of West Point.
