  Lately, there is nothing to report about these Grand Boasting Sessions.

  I remember conventions meant mating season.

  In the late 70's several friends and I went to an assembly in Billings Montana.
  There was a campground next to the auditorium, and since rodeo's were the BIG thing out there,
  we were able to take showers in the area where they hosed down the cattle.
  
  Now I look back and it feels like I was living in the twilight zone during that time

  Actually the Souvenir Reports were NEVER published by the Watchtower. The Society's first convention report published on their presses was around 1927. Prior to that all the early reports were published by Leslie Jones, an elder with the Chicago Bible Students, who later published the compilations of Russell's writings, "What Pastor Russell Said", "What Pastor Russell Wrote", "What Pastor Russell Taught", and "The Laodicean Messenger" (A bio on Russell's life). He later published the Souvenir Reunion Reports in 1927-30,

  The Society began publishing the reports under the name "The Messenger", and then began publishing the reports as special issues of the Golden Age and Consolation. As Blondie mentioned, 1969 was the last report they published.

  I learn something every day. Hope to see the 1919 and 1922 Reports soon on a thread.
