As promised,  here is the  recap of our Past President reception.  It was wonderful.  There were many laughs and tears of joy, because people hadn't seen each other in many years.  We also had the distinct pleasure of having both Larry Brownell and Elyse Gammer attend our event.

We also initiated the 2005 Career Achievement Award, which we plan on giving out each year.  This year it was awarded to Susan Taylor, of Taylor Research, for her numerous achievements and contributions to our industry.  Susan's son, Jeff accepted the award and gave it to Taylor Research to display in their office in San Diego.   Click here to view slide show  (Power Point Presentation, may take awhile to download),
