We were pleased to have WPA Chairman of the Board Anthony C. Beke and his wife Marguerite with us that evening. Many thanks to the Home Office for its support. I have received many inquiries for the old yellow cookbook with the green trim. If you are willing to part with yours, please call me. The books showed the names of the contributors on the menu, and, therefore, have sentimental value to the families of those contributors.
