NDGA Convention 1984 - Houston, Texas
The tenth Annual NDGA Convention was held in Houston, Texas, at the
Shamrock Hilton Hotel on July 14-15, 1984. Show Chairman was Jo Ann
Schliesmann, who was also the NDGA President at the time. There was a
members-only preview held on Friday night, July 13, attended by over
400 members.
On Saturday night, a dinner-dance was held in the Hilton's Embassy
room. After the dinner there was a presentation on shakers and Georgian
Lovebirds, and Fern Angus gave a brief history of the NDGA over the
