The dinner was held on the SS Ticonderoga, but was catered by the very friendly folks at the Round Barn. We almost had a catastrophe on our hands, as the weather turned foul, with predicted thunderstorms, gusty winds and hail. The Round Barn owners came over to talk to us as we were about to leave for the dinner to tell us they thought we should cancel due to the weather, which was making the whole event potentially unsafe. We decided to persevere, on the understanding that we may have to drive right back to Warren if the weather continued to deteriorate. It looked pretty grim during the trip, but just as we arrived the clouds parted and we got a great, sunny day. Had a great party, with some speeches, including a surprisingly entertaining one from pomme, who to my surprise had grown from my baby sister to a mature adult (with boobs even!) while I was traveling the world. After lots of drinking, we all headed back to the hotel for continued merriment at the Pitcher Inn bar.
