In attendance were Natalie and her friend from France, Daniel, and Oak Park residents Joyce Porter, Mila Tellez and her husband Nile Wendorf, who housed Natalie and Daniel during their stay, Les Golden, Ralph Lee and his friend Carolyn Skipper, Sandra Sokol and her husband David, Teresa Powell, and Dan Silberberg.
