The attendees at the 1997 PR celebrated the Silver Anniversary of the event (25 years). The 2000 PR marked the Millennium Edition. In keeping with the trend of the industry, it was safe to state, “The PR was Y2K ready and no official data was lost in the transition.” Year 2002 marked the celebration of the PR 30th anniversary. No one could (or would) have envisioned the longevity of such a gathering. Perhaps this milestone is best described or explained by the late Mark Twain. “Reports of the PR’s death have been greatly exaggerated.” Or maybe it simply suffices to say, “The extension of family and friendships over time is stronger than the external nuan ces that the world has to offer”. The following information is presented for posterity. A detailed description of the PR is provided to preserve a piece of Americana, a part of the past that must be passed on to future generations. Read these passages with reverence and pause a moment for all the "porkers" that have paid the supreme sacrifice to make all this possible.
