Toni's Favorite BDPA Memory: "My first memory of BDPA was taking our students to the 1993 National BDPA High School Computer Competition (HSCC) Championship held in Kansas City. Denise Gibbs and I took the initiative to take our HSCC team under the leadership of Connie Boon who was the president of the chapter at the time. We were operating on a shoe string budget at the time. We drove the students from St. Louis to Kansas City and shared rooms with the students. Someone from BDPA Kansas City chapter heard of our financial straits and got with the other chapters and bought food for our students. BDPA-Love at its finest and I have been in love with BDPA ever since. I wonder what happened to Anthony Williams and the folks from the BDPA Kansas City chapter?”
Toni's Favorite Scripture: "To whom much is given, much is required." Luke 12:48
