It seemed to be an unqualified success, almost so, that is. True, the rain that we had been hoping for all summer came down in torrents that drenched us while we were serving the barbecue. Also after the first six hundred guests had eaten, the bread and drinks ran out. But as soon as the four-mile trip to the store could be made, more was provided and we dripped merrily on. The beef was very good. Cooks Sam Chidister and Otto Haws deserve congratulations.
