Gillian Randall gave an incredible invocation. We paused to remember our dear photo friends and family that have passed away in the last year.
The Three Stooges.... oh I mean Bob, Jay and Don. These three being major mentors in my photo life, it meant the world to have them at the banquet to support my new adventure as PPANE president.
The Vermont gang in full force!! You guys are the BEST!! Three tables to support the president elect!!
The NH group in large numbers!! Do you think they like the new location???
The student table gave a little youth to the banquet! After all their hard work, it was nice to see them let loose and have fun!!

One of the many honors as president is giving the Presidents Medal. This year recipient is Jennifer Roggi, I can't think of anyone more deserving then Jen! Congrats Jen!!!
Look at the size of this plaque! I think it weighs 80 pounds. Well earned Bernie, every ounce of it!!
Past recipients who have received any National Award.
Roland presenting Jennifer and Keith with the 2008 PPANE National Award. In my 20 years involved in PPANE these 2 are ALWAYS there behind the scenes working. They have donated much of their time to make PPANE a better assocation. It was nice to see them acknowledged for it!!
Roland doing the honors of swearing in the new slate of officers.
