For the first time the picnic was held on the grounds of the beautiful Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport. The weather was perfect, the location was beautiful, the food was delicious, and everyone had a wonderful time catching up with friends and former colleagues. A special thanks to Bill and Gloria Hall for making the arrangements for the picnic at the Vanderbilt. Photos of the picnic are posted in the the R-UTN Picture Gallery
