Vegas 'host chapter' General Chairman Marty Judd appointed Larry as Editor of the Convention's Daily Bulletin. A condensed black & white version, was physically distributed early each morning to key drop points throughout the MGM. A larger full color, electronic version was emailed to selected websites around the world. It was the first time ever that the colorful daily bulletins were emailed globally...specifically to the Society's 10 overseas affiliated chapters.
Larry was assisted by barbershopper/chapter PR/Mktg VP Fred Green and fellow Geezer Dave Kennedy...plus a small team of fantastic 'volunteer' conventioneers from across the U.S. who took superb photos and wrote many accompanying articles.
These volunteers also included: Chris Wethered, Jeanne Mayer Ph.D., Ford Fuller III, Dyanna Denari.
