We had to abruptly change our birthday venue for Dr. Woodson's Birthday celebration, since the BCRI had a conflict on Dec. 14th. Dr. Joan Burroughs graciously hosted the event at her home for members, friends and guests. There were excerpts, and "punchbowl" quotations read that were picked at random by participants. We all learned something about Dr. Woodson. We also offered perspective members from the event.
