Delegates from Cordova
Enjoyed Stay at Nome
(from Ihe Cordova Times)
A red carpet to end all red
carpets was rolled out by Igloo
No. 1 and the Auxiliary and all
Nome residents to make the
Pioneer Convention a success. . . .
Besides a continual round of
luncheons, dinners, cocktail par
ties, banquets and a grand ball,
the indefatigable Pioneers man
aged to conduct all their necessary
meetings. ... It was a weary
group that boarded the plane for
home on Sunday and landed early
Monday morning at Mile 13. Ev
eryone agrees on two things at
least — Nothing can beat the
Nome convention, and it pays to
make your reservations at least
six months in advance.
Thanks, Nome, for a truly
wonderful time.
