Looking over a table at the amazing backdrop for the evening - most of that is painted on the walls and ceiling.
Kim is a past president of the Michigan Genealogical Council, and currently works for Ancestry.com. On the left Randy is with Jan Alpert, President of the National Genealogical Society having just received the 2010 Filby Award.
Randy was the last speaker. He spoke of the honour, and of how it is about the Collection and the Staff, not just about him.
