On December 20, 2024, the WAS's informal meeting became the annual Holiday Dinner at the Legacy Diner in Audubon, NJ. As seen in the photo above (taken by one of our attentive waitresses), it's obvious there was a large turnout, extending to the back corner. The wide-angle picture below was taken from the other side of the room. Indeed, everyone had a fine meal and a fine time. Click the pictures for larger versions.
