A GLIMPSE OF THE SAA 2002 BUSINESS SECTION
Featuring Hal Keiner, as The Head Cheese (or Cheesehead?!). This cheese was awarded to Hal as a token of appreciation for planning the Business Archives Section mixer for the previous ten years. The cheese signifies all that is wonderful in food (at least in Wisconsin), and being a Cheesehead is a regal rank (again, in Wisconsin). (click to enlarge)
