At Origins in Columbus, I think it was the first year there, I was a participant in Europa-fest, a sub-convention for devotees of the Europa series (also by GDW). Winston Hamilton (RIP) was the president of GRD, which had taken over the series recently. The year previous at the "banquet," the food had run out early. This year (1996?) he had promised there would be plenty of it, and it would be a surprise.
As it's related to the posts above, you can guess what the surprise was-- 2 cases of MRE. My ROTC knowledge extended as far as avoiding the chicken ala king.
