Thoughts on Convention 2003
Mu
Phi Epsilon will be 100 years old on November 13, 2003. What a
celebration there was in Cincinnati in August! I wish each one of you
could have been there. The music was superb and performed at
every business meeting, luncheon, dinner, many concerts and two lobby
sings. What else would one expect at a Mu Phi convention?
Friends
that I made I will cherish in memory and some of them I hope to see
again soon. Martha Whitmore, president of Denton Alumni and Dana Seals,
Delta Pi at Tarleton were my tablemates at the business meetings. We
enjoyed getting to know each other.
Harmony
was evident in all that we did. Everything went smoothly, thanks to
efficient planning. When help was needed, the response was swift. Of
course, there was discussion on some issues, but all were resolved
peacefully. There was a great feeling of anticipation, excitement and
fellowship throughout the whole convention. It was an experience I shall
never forget.
Finally
to witness Wynona, confident, efficient and yet so warm and personable
in her role as International President was such a pleasure. She sang
beautifully the night of the banquet. What a talented lady.
Hopefully she will be with us often in the future.

Retiring
