[Nfbmo] the 56th state convention

[Gene Coulter]

This is, in fact, our 55th convention. I do not believe there was a 
convention in 1963. You are correct that the first convention was in 
Jefferson City in November of 1962.  From what I can tell all conventions 
after that have been in the Spring. We had our 11th convention in April of 
1973 as noted from the excerpt of the 1973 convention minutes below.

Hi Troops,
Unless we missed a state convention, this years convention should be the 
56th convention, if we started having state conventions in 1962 one year 
after the break up, George Ritters reformed the Progressive Blind of 
Missouri in 1961 one year later we had our first state convention in 
Jefferson City on November 16, the birthday of the NFB.  Do the math with 62 
being the first convention and 1971 being the 10th 81 being the 20th and so 
on, this year should be the 56th.  Dave Hutchins
