1997 FTC
October 23, 24, 25, 1997
Adam's Mark Hotel
Philadelphia, PA

Our Guests of Honor were:

EASA President
William H. Overton
and his lovely wife
Susan

A Great Time was had by all. And here are a few pictures as proof.

Elvis_Friends.JPG (57689 bytes) Elvis was DEFINITELY in the building! And these ladies can attest to the fact. Our entertainment for the Thursday night buffet was "Elvis", a DJ and some brave EASAn's doing karaoke!

 

Breakfast chatter at the kickoff breakfast is always popular. Everyone gets a chance to swap ideas and discuss solutions during these events. Kickoff_Chatter.JPG (45151 bytes)

 

ExhibitHall_Chatter.JPG (50589 bytes) The exhibit hall is the perfect place to talk about that new technology you heard about and ask questions of our vendors that you just never seemed to get asked. All the newest gadgets show up at the hall and no one needs to go away wondering "why they came".

 

Here's one of EASA's Past Presidents, Walt Dunsmore at his booth in the exhibit hall with a prospective customer, and our conference Registrar, Denver Weigel. This is where the fellowship of the EASA family is proven as fact! A competitor hoping to sell you a good product, at a price that allows you to still make a reasonable margin of profit? Unheard of in other industries but standard fare in EASA. Walt_Den.JPG (60163 bytes)

Have you ever seen the New Year's Day parade from Philadelphia on TV? If you have then you've seen the "Mummers" with their trademark, the fancy, feathered headdresses, banjos and saxophones. Well, one of EASA's long time friends, and participating vendor, from the Quaker City Chapter.... Joe Quattrone, is a member of this particular Mummer band and was instrumental (no pun intended) in getting them to play for our Saturday Evening Finale Banquet entertainment. Quite a treat!

So this is a sampling of what you missed if you didn't come to Philly. Don't do the same this year. Join us at the next Joint Fall Technical Conference. It's a Blast!
