In April of 1999, the Great War Society joined in a celebration of history at the South San Francisco Convention Center. The Society operated an informational booth, offered local World War I book dealers a place to display their wares and provided two of the main speakers at the convention, Palo Alto Chapter Chairman & Website Aviation Editor Noel Shirley and Website Editor & Membership Chairman Mike Hanlon. It was a glorious weekend hindered only by heavy storms in the Bay Area that weekend. I was able to take many photos over the weekend and I've displayed two groups here. The first is of the various displays the membership contributed for the event; the second is a selection of photos of the reenactment groups that were a major and exciting presence over the three day weekend.
