Always Grateful (Elmer (T.J.) Norvell)

I will always be grateful for V’Ann saving me from humiliation. I sent her my plan for the exhibition at the conference, which resembled a child’s cluttered toy box. She helpfully and tactfully steered me to a more organized, quality display. When I arrived at the Conference the airline had lost my luggage containing the display stands and I was worried about laying the models down on the table (Airplane models belong in the air.). V’Ann suggested that I setup the display without the stands and if my luggage made it in Friday night, I could easily mount the models early Saturday morning. All turned out well in the end, as the luggage with the stands arrived and the display was saved. In addition, I had this unusual flower with no place to display. One of the exhibiters failed to show up that morning and V’Ann allowed me to use his display space. I would like to dedicate my design of the Peruvian Lilly to her memory.
