The banquet was very nice, well attended and I think everyone had a good time. The only pain was the traffic going into center city before the banquet, stop and go all the way in. I have many pictures as does Tony and will try to get some posted as soon as I have time to download and shrink them. Highlights included the debut of the 50th anniversary logo, fist showing of the 50th anniversary jackets, announcment of the 50th anniversary bash at Radnor Hunt, annual awards presentation, raffle of prizes from RTR's great supporters, good food, drink, and dancing. Thanks to Robin Zelinskie for organizing such a fine event, Tom Zaffarano for being MC and John Heckman for a super overview of RTR's 50th celebration.

More to follow!

Kudos to Robin for organizing a very nice event.

Although we had one, un-Ritzlike experience---no heat or hot water Sunday morning! Was anyone else effected by this? This could have been my quickest shower of my life!

As we were leaving a number of people on the elevator were commenting about the cold water.  Apparently the entire hotel was without hot water.

Brian, Tony - nice job with the photos - at least I could enjoy the event throught your pictures, even thought I couldn't be there.

Great fun! Thanks to Tom and Robin and all who made it possible! It was our first "formal" event and we had to go! We had an experience at the Ritz-Carlton over the summer and just had to stop by again for a longer stay! But that's a whole other forum post.... It was great meeting all the people there and winning the table's "longest-time member" prize! There seemed to be an awful lot of "inside jokes" flying around that I have no clue about, but we're looking forward to some of next year's events and hope to get to know more of the members along the way!
