". . . Jim Simpson was involved in all stages of the
planning and, in fact, did much of it. His willingness to
accommodate the needs of our group and his personal intense

. . If the best measure of success is unsolicited praise from
those hosted, please consider the following direct quotes
extracted from the large volume of thank you mail we received
from our members:
"- From the first glisten of the silver spoon coming out of
its blue bag to the breakfast buffet after that unforgettable
service at St. Philip's, you all couldn't have done better.
- This was the best ever (including Paris in '74!
- The spiritual singers on Saturday, the flowers distributed to
each lady Saturday night, the exquisite flower [arrangements]
for each function, the Citadel Cadets, the availability of so
many homes each with a tour guide, etc. These were the extra
details on top of the elegant parties and perfectly executed
scheduling.
- As one who has attended five triennials and acted as Co-Chair
of one, I congratulate you and your committee members on the
best triennial [my wife] and I have ever attended."
"Jim, our final results were far from happenstance, coming
from a truly impressive sustained team effort over a prolonged
period of time. One of the very best decisions our Triennial
Committee made during the three years of seemingly endless
decisions was to call upon [Adventures in Charleston]. Your
quiet but positive leadership proved [to be] the glue that held
the whole series of events together. . . "
