The attendees at this meeting included Henry Auchy, Philadelphia Toboggan Company; Charles Browning; Frank Danahey, Kennywood Park; Frank Darling, L.A. Thompson Enterprises; John R. Davies, Willow Grove Park; John R. Gammeter, Summit Beach; A.R. Hodge, Riverview Park; D.S. Humphreys, Euclid Beach; Fred Ingersoll; E.J. Kilpatrick; F.C. Manchester, Summit Beach; Austin McFadden; Fred Pearce; George Schmidt, Riverview Park; Milford Stern, Palace Gardens; H.C. Traver; R.S.

...
The members of the new NAAP elected the following men as their officers: Andrew S. McSwigan, president; Milford Stern, vice president; A.R. Hodge, secretary; and George A. Schmidt, treasurer.
...
That all these innovations should take place in the final 12 months of IAAPA President John Graff's 22 years with the organization was only fitting. (Graff's title of executive director had been changed to president/CEO in 1997, when the title for the voluntary rotating one-year head of the IAAPA Board of Directors was changed from president to chairman.) Like long-time IAAPA Executive Directors A.R. Hodge and Bob Blundred before him, and those who would come after, John's dedication to the association was total--and the numbers showed it: a 900 percent increase in membership during his time with IAAPA, a 3,000 percent rise in international members, and an IAAPA Attractions Expo 340 percent bigger in terms of attendance.
