Other honorees included Ray Harris, Maureen Murphy, Bill Kennedy, Bill Lawson, Tim Delaney, Ed Norton and Mary Jones, recognized in ascending order of visits. The Retro-Politan duo performed oldies including "Downtown" and "Blueberry Hill" while attendees sang along. No board business or votes occurred; the session was a celebration, not a regular meeting.
