After the presentations, some of the attendees gathered for supper at Broadway Grill.
It was great to catch up with fellow Canucks Doug and Jean Denby.

Sue-On and her pal-in-crime (shopping) Shirley Le Beau.


Always fun conversations with Shirley and Ray Le Beau...
not only about ERB, but also their great collections of trains,
Shirley's fabulous Xmas decorations, plants, and of course, grandchildren!


Great to see faithfuls Bradleigh Vinson and Pat Vinson bringing along two members of their family!
We are hoping that Pat was able to manage some of her famous grape jelly for the BB auction.
