RETIRED CHICAGO STAMPERS

Years of working side by side in the Ford Stamping Plant turn coworkers into friends who look forward to getting together at the Retirees' Annual Christmas Dinner Dance. This year a record number of reservations were returned resulting in every room in the hall being filled with guests for a gala evening. The panoramic picture above shows the party goers seated along the north side of the hall.

These party goers were seated along the south wall of the hall while more diners were seated across the back of the room and in the Al Bowman room. Over 450 guests enjoyed a catered buffet that included sliced beef, baked chicken, roast pork, lettuce salad, buttery rolls, almond garnished green beans, holiday decorated iced cake and drinks of all kinds.

Harry Duncan won ten dollars in one of the night's many 50-50 raffles. Trying to get a loan from him are (l. - r.) Bill Born, Jim Winfree, Charlie Mills, Harry, and Jean Winfree. Looks like Jean has the best chance to get a piece of the prize!
