Rollin' on the river.

Anthony Walker, Senior Director, Tax for Darden Restaurants, is the lucky winner of a seven-night cruise on the American Queen riverboat. His name was drawn from more than 400 "early bird" registrants for the 59th Annual Conference. Mr. Darden joined TEI in 2003, and is a member of the Florida Chapter.

In honor of TEI's 60th anniversary, annual conference registrants were invited to take advantage of a special offer for a three-day cruise on the Mississippi River, at the conclusion of the Annual Conference in New Orleans. As a special incentive to early registrants, the Delta Queen Steamboat Company offered a complimentary seven-night Mississippi River cruise for one registrant and a companion. Mr. Walker's name was drawn by Morris L. Rinehart, a special guest at the conference. Mr. Rinehart, who turned 90 earlier this year, served as TEI's President in 1964-1965.

TEI offers its thanks to Bill Waldorf, chapter representative from the Niagara Frontier Chapter, and his colleague, Steve Brady, current chapter president, who assisted in making the arrangements with the Delta Queen Steamboat Company to celebrate TEI's 60th anniversary in such a grand manner. (Messrs. Waldorf and Brady work for affiliated companies--respectively, Boston Professional Hockey Association and Delaware North Companies.)
