West Baden has been completely restored and is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. We had a wonderful time as evidenced by the pictures in this newsletter.
We arrived at the West Baden on Friday night, and had dinner in the beautiful Sinclair Dining Room, great food, comfortable atmosphere and wonderful friends. Over dinner we planned the activities for the weekend. Jenny Brown served as our tour director and made all of the arrangements. She did a very Good Job!
After dinner we toured the hotel and read about the colorful history of this beautiful place. Real Quality!
As you know West Baden is located in French Lick Indiana, and in the old days of Copy Corp, we had managers meetings and incentive trips to French Lick from time to time, however, The West Baden Hotel had not been restored at that time and all of our activities were at the French Lick Inn. We worked hard, ate good and played some golf and even on one trip enjoyed the bowling alley in the basement of French Lick Inn!
On Saturday Morning, we had a late breakfast and continued to reminisce about the old Copy Corp days. There were many wonderful old stories, we talked about everyone we could remember and I bet many of your ears were burning over the weekend! We decided to take a train ride, visit the casino and watch the Christmas Tree Lighting at 7PM on Saturday evening.
The train ride was very relaxing and enjoyable, I think everyone had a nice time, however, we were ready for some casino action by the time the train arrived back at the station! So we made our way to the casino for a while. 
The only winners were Billie Higdon and Judy Jennings. When we had as much casino fun as we could stand, we had a snack at a nice place in the Casino called Diamond Jim's. It was a fun place and very good food.
After the late snack, we toured the French Lick Inn and visited a local art and craft fair that was going on in the hotel. Finally just in time we made our way to the Christmas Tree Lighting and it was very beautiful! Everything was perfect, even the weather!
After the tree lighting we returned to The West Baden Hotel for dinner and a special treat, provided by another Copy Corp partner from the 1980's
Sid Swinney provided us with a couple of bottles of his homemade
Swinney Wine

At dinner we told more stories from the early days of Copy Corporation, remembered names of former partners that we need to locate and inform about the Copy Corp blog/website. We tried to remember stories that all of us will enjoy remembering as we add the stories to the website. As everyone knows, Bruce is the longest employed person and has served in many positions with many memories from the past. Mickey and Kenny also were with Copy Corp in the 70's, and 80's. After dinner we made some pictures of us enjoying the Swinney Wine before retiring for the evening.
On Sunday morning we had brunch at another of the golf courses and returned home. A great time was had by all!
