On the weekend of June 10, 1995, the JFA Board of Directors held their annual meeting at the home of Walter and Jean Junkins in Camp Hill, PA.
Walter and Jean had made arrangements for those Directors coming from out of town, to stay at the Hampton Inn not too far from their home. Most arrived on Friday afternoon and had a chance to talk and some had dinner together at various restaurants in the area that evening.
Roland Junkins drove to Alan and Betty Junkins home in York, ME on Thursday, stayed overnight and then he and Alan drove to Boston on Friday and flew to Harrisburg, PA. Walter and Jean met them at the airport and took them to the Inn. Russ and Anna Blease arrived that afternoon from RI, as did Karl and Joanne Junkins from OH. Cliff and Mary Jo Junkins, from Holyoke, MA, Ken and Kathy Junkins and two of their sons, Jeffrey and Logan from Morrisville, PA, and Philip Junkins and his son, Matthew, from Lusby, MD were also there. Ruth Hodgin, Secretary and David Junkins, Treasurer, were both excused from the meeting because of other pressing matters.
Saturday morning at 9:00 sharp, Walter arrived at the Inn to escort the group to his home for the meeting, which started right on time at 9:00.
The business matters of the Association were attended to for the year and the meeting was concluded at noon. Jean served a lovely lunch on the enclosed back porch of their home.
