Thursday, March 15, 2018---TGLA at the Autry Museum
Trojan Candy arrived early at the Autry Museum so that I wouldn't miss any TGLA members and guests. The Chairwomen arrived within a few minutes. I took this picture inside the lobby of Sandi Hampar and Alnita Dunn.
Then, I got in trouble for taking the picture, because flash photography is not allowed in the museum. So I walked outside to take pictures. Here is the entrance door to the museum which is now called the Autry Museum of the American West.
When almost everyone had checked in, tour guides began to organize us into groups of ten. My group was the first to start the tour, but we had more than ten people. We were able to fit in the elevator. Not using my flash, I took pictures inside the museum of three displays.
Here is an impressive mural in the Community Gallery.
Next I took a picture of a gaming case containing a deck of cards, a pair of dice, and chips for illegal gambling.
There was a life-size chuckwagon.
Now, the tours were ending, and TGLA members and their guests were leaving for the Tam O'Shanter Restaurant. Sandi Hampar asked Patti Poon to pass out maps to the restaurant inside. I waited outside to take pictures.
The first to leave were Vernon and Caren Edler, Bill and Rosalee Stewart, Rex Johnston, Barbara Hance and her sister Rae Sharp.
Carol Herrmann, Cynthia Carli, and Perta and Thomas Santley left next.
In the front row of the next picture are Lily Cripps, Carol Thueson, Kate Farlow, Jolene Irwin, and Vickie Walker. Behind are Marjorie Layne, Jean Getchell, Sharon Schmidt, Barbara Hance, Rae Sharp, Cheryl Schwartz, Cathy Anderson, Carol Mollett, Valerie Kiley, Christine Ofiesh, Richard Boyle, and Terri Boyle.
Next were Christine Ofiesh, Patti Madden, Leslie Lilly, Rosalee Perchersky, Mo Bassity, Nikki Dana, Cheryl Schwartz, and Lai Tan Carapia.
My sister Patti and I were last to leave the museum.
After arriving at the Tam O'Shanter Restaurant, Trojan Candy immediately started taking pictures. President Jean Getchell made a few short comments.
Sitting at the table by the door were Sharon Schmidt, Cathy Anderson, Jean Getchell, Marjorie Layne and Jolene Irwin. Cathy and Marjorie were Jean's guests.
Sharon Schmidt and Jean Getchell are sponsoring Cathy Anderson into the TGLA.
Sitting at the next table were Nikki Dana, Kate Farlow, Kate's guest Marjorie Layne, Rosalee Perchersky, Elizabeth O'Connell and her mother Liz Methany.
Standing behind Carol Thueson were her two guests, Vernon and Caren Edler. Also at the table were Mo Bassity and Christine Ofiesh.
Barbara Hance's sister Rae Sharp sat with Barbara and Carol Mollett.
Christine Ofiesh moved to take a picture with her guest Carol Mollett.
At the next table were Carol Herrmann, Carol's host Cynthia Carli, Perta and Thomas Santley and Terri and Richard Boyle.
Sandi Hampar and her guest Valerie Kiley posed for me.
Cheryl Schwartz and her guest Patti Madden smiled for me.
Our two Vice Presidents of the Special Event, Alnita Dunn and Sandi Hampar, sat together. What a great job they did!
