Military Mixer – Romantic Times Convention
Not only did we have the Mortician’s conference and the Vampire Ball in the same building, we also had Ellora’s Cave publications outside of the United Methodist Bishops conference. The universe had a sense of humor that week. The book fair had no less than 1,000 people standing in line waiting for the doors to open. Some participants brought their favorite book for the author to sign, while others had suitcases on wheels waiting to pounce on the bargains of autographed books. Whether your passion is thriller (Barry Eisler and J. A. Konrath) or Inspirational romance (Patricia Simmons), your genre was present and possibly your favorite author.
After the book fair, Kathryn Falk and her husband, Kenneth Rubin attended the Military Mixer. Cindy Carver, USN 76-79, aviation machinist, opened the mixer with the Star Spangle Banner sung by the Agape International Choir. Each branch of the service was then recognized as their anthem rang through the air and active duty, retirees, and veterans were presented with a token of thanks for their duty. A standing ovation was given for these American Hero’s. Joan Causey discussed her role with the Air Force Defense and presented a two star coin to Jesse Wiseman. Unfortunately, I am unable to recall Wiseman’s rank in the Army, and for this I apologize.
Kathryn Falk spoke about SOS America, Inc. explaining how the company provided a place of healing for military families and was almost self sufficient. Kathryn and Kenneth presented Jesse Wiseman with a certificate for his achievements and volunteer work at RT for the past years.
Thank you sponsors (Julie Miller, Sherri James, Robin L. Rotham, Rebecca York, and the authors of Operation Love – Anne Elizabeth and C. H. Arihamd) and volunteers. Kelley: You were my Rock!
