I just returned from a month long road trip with the family to North Carolina to visit relatives and attend the National Convention. While I enjoyed the vacation immensely, (despite several truck breakdowns) I must concur with Vern Padgett’s assessment of the convention.
While I stayed in my travel trailer and did not use the local hotels, it was obvious that the evening camaraderie which has come to a part of these events just wasn’t happening. Many events seemed to be haphazardly planned and poorly executed. Confusion was the order of the day. The meetings however were conducted in an orderly and well planned manner. All business matters went smoothly with very little confusion or dissension.
On Saturday night, the Debutante presentation was the largest in recent history. There are usually 5-6 debs, but this year there were 17 young ladies. I am proud to say I had the honor of escorting the California Division’s first debutante, my daughter Samantha Jo. I am also proud to say that there were 15 Ramsey family members in attendance at the Ball, including my parents.
