I would like to name each one, but I'm afraid I might miss someone. Also thanks for all the fantastic desserts that were brought in and to Ariine Mathews, the school cook, who always does more than her share. And last but not least, a big thank you to my family who helped me so much and put up with me. While I was getting things ready. I think the 1987 Pow wow was a great success.
