I was there, too, Marion! It was lovely. And you're right about the restaurant, though I can't remember the name. I think "Cantina" was in there somewhere. Georgia will remember.

A number of us were honoured to have a speaking part.  Memorable, indeed.  A jolly lunch after at some Mexican restaurant.  I believe we were 18.  :-)
