This was my first Festival...I hitched a ride with Executive Secretary, Rena 
Prim from Houston, TX to Bowling Green...what a treat...we also spent a week 
with Vivian Michael, who was editor of the bi-monthly Journal at the time.   I 
have dozens of black and white camera snap shots from that trip and 
Festival...Archie Elliott was the Fest director, I think...JIm Gamble
