DPW State Convention Photos 2007
There are tons of photos of all the "official" stuff, and you really have to have a good camera to get shots in the main room, I don't. Anyway, here are just a few snapshots I took of friends and family. Keep in mind that the hotel was very, very muggy so none of these photos makes anyone look any good. But, you can tell we were all having fun.
This is, from left to right, me, Diane, my son-Collins, and Jeff Van Koenigsveld. We were starting the convention where all conventions begin, in the bar...........
My beautiful daughter-in-law, Jenniffer, got to meet her congresswoman, Gwen Moore. Jen was very excited to meet her representative in a such a social setting.
Congresswoman Moore's room was also the place to find State Representative Bob Turner and DPRC Chair Mike Shields. It looks like a reunion of old friends.
After a bit of discussing her address Jen found that her State Senator was Lean Taylor! Both were very happy about that.
Jay Askin intently listening to State Rep. Phil Garthwaite, 49th, talk about the importance of campaigning in every district. Rep Garthwaite is the first dem to hold his seat since 1913. Jay asked him how he did it? Phil said he keeps the pair of boots he wore out campaigning on display in his office to show people what it takes to win. You gotta be impressed with that, first one since 1913?
Mike chatting with Wendy........whose last name escapes me. Sorry.
Jef Hall, Oshkosh county chair and 2nd Vice Chair of state party. This is one of my favorite people in the whole party state wide. I think he does a lot more than most people realize. BTW this photo was taken pretty late at night, he was wearing a suit earlier. But, it was so damn hot and muggy in the hotel!
This is my adopted son, Matt Sinnen and Lena Talylor. Matt is from Kenosha but just loves Lena. Okay, he's not really my adopted son, but I do think of him at least as nephew at the very least!
A few people who were in the college dems room for their party. That was the party to be at! Holy smokes. There were speeches made and people having a blast and loads of networking. I didn't get out of there until after 2 then I went outside until 4 with a few people........good thing this only happens once a year!
