The WOA Reunion/60th Anniversary held in
Oakland/Alameda California on October 10-12,2008 was a
smashing success with approximately 265 attendees. The
weather was perfect and all events were well attended
and very enjoyable. Out of town attendees stayed at
the Oakland Airport Hilton Hotel. A room adjacent to
the Hilton Hotel restaurant held the 60th Anniversary
memorabilia displays which were available for viewing from
Friday noon until Saturday noon. The 60th Anniversary team
from Peachtree City corporate headquarters set up the
display and are to be commended for an outstanding showing.
Special thanks to Julie Antonelli, Nancy Peppin, Victoria
Akinyode, Jennifer Ashmore, Steve Forsyth, San Ireland,
Wally Rardon, Michelle Ross, Brenda Valenti, Keith Wigley,
and Kim Williams for bringing the reunion and 60th
Anniversary all together. The Year 2008 Reunion was held at
the Grand View Pavilion in Alameda on Saturday evening from
6 -11 PM. The facility, food and especially the time of
fellowship with other WOA employees was very special with
attendees from around the country and as far away as Paris
France.
