07-31-21 - Buffalo, NY - Normally we would be getting ready to head to Convention in a week or two, depending on Pre-Convention activities.   At the end of May, I received an email from Roger that I have been holding for a special post.  I thought now would be a good time to use it.
"Hi Lori, I found this website after doing research..."  "Recently discovered at an estate sale,,,"  "I attached a picture, feel free to post or use it in any way. I think the boosters would enjoy seeing it! Have a great day,
Roger"
There was more to the email, which I will share next week.  Take that time to see if you can figure out what he found.   Have fun!
​Lori - Webmaster

08-08-21 - Did you guess what was in the picture?  Here is the entire email from Roger: "Hi Lori, I found this website after doing research on an old mug I own. Recently discovered at an estate sale in Minneapolis. It is a commemorative mug from the 1972 convention in Detroit. I believe it was the 2nd one. Must be pretty rare as I read there were only roughly 60 people in attendance! I attached a picture, feel free to post or use it in any way. I think the boosters would enjoy seeing it! Have a great day,
Roger"

Does anyone know whose mug it was?  Let me know if you do.  I did not attend that Convention and would be curious to know whose it was.  Email or post it to the Facebook Page.  Thank you!
