The organizing committee for the 1998 Denver X-ray Conference provided an after-dinner forum which allowed a panel of judges to evaluate genuine, tall and unlikely stories presented by volunteer victims. The stories involved the victim him/herself, and had some conference, laboratory or travel connotation. A prize was presented to the best story - a hotel escapade by Dr. Ron Jenkins! Spouses’ Coffee Hour: All spouses were invited to attend a complimentary coffee hour, sponsored by the Denver X-ray Conference. Coffee, tea and pastries were served in the Hayden Room at 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Monday through Thursday. Information on local attractions and activities of interest were provided.
