We held our traditional banquet at the historic Union Hotel, established as a stagecoach stop in Revolutionary times but better known as where the jurors were sequestered for the Lindbergh kidnapping trial, which took place in the courthouse across the street. However, we went there because Wiese had painted the animals in a mural for the hotel, significant pieces of which still remained on display in the dining area.

| Don't know who these guys are, though they were clearly painted by Wiese. |
