Fond farewells, leaps from the a 108-story Stratosphere Hotel at 45 miles per hour, and major decisions affecting the Association's direction and leadership nationally all highlighted a memorable BVA 66th National Convention in Las Vegas. This issue of the Bulletin recaps the five-day event. Top left photo, Laurel Kekahuna expresses relief after Roy's downward plunge from the Stratosphere Hotel.
