r98 I{ATIONA: SJTTOI.I SIJLLETX}I October 1997

Another successful show was over. To the
Wisconsin State Button Society and especially to
"The Committee", we express our deepest gratitude
for a job well done. For one all too shorl week, we
lived in the fantasy world of buttondom!
As we headed home on Sunday, we found that
all was not well. Although the weather was flyable
in Madison, the connecting points were all closed.
As a result, we had our own rnini-convention at the
airport. Even those who left on Saturday aftemoon
had been returned to Madison when they couldn't
land in Chicago. Finally, two hours after our
scheduled flight, we took off, landing in Cincinnati
after our connecting flight had depafied. I think we
set a record for missing planes that day. When we
finally anived in Houston, 7- I /2 hours later than our
scheduled anival time, we were tired but very happy
to be home-and boy, did my bed f-eel good!
The Good Lord willing, we will rnake it to
Tacorna next August for another wonderful family Bea Campbell's
reunion. See you there! grandson, Brian, was
everl,bodv's sweetheart.
P.S. Again, we are deeplv indebtetl to Micki Mevr lbr ull
tlta cuntlid pit'tut'es. Whut v'oultl u'e tlo v'ithout hcr.

so willingly to help make "Adventure in Dairyland" a successf'ul convention .
We couldn't have done it without you!
