The turnout this year was spectacular. 126 members and spouses showed up for socializing and good food and to relive Syntex history. An excellent time was had by all.
Thanks to all who attended for keeping the spirit of Syntex & Syva alive!
Also, this seems to answer our question as to what ARGM format is preferred by members. For future luncheons, SSAA will provide even more social time and further reduce the formal presentation with the hope of maintaining a large turnout.

A slideshow of historical Syntex pictures has been prepared for the ARGM. The photos are from Research IBS albums from Bonnie Wagner, Research IPS albums scanned by Lynda Sanders, slides from Carl Djerassi, photos from Laszlo Tokes, from Labs albums from Carolyn Lyon, from SSAA Memorabilia, from the Science & Serendipity publication, site photos from Terence Ainscow, and from the World of Syntex slides.
The slideshow can be viewed by clicking here. The album is very large and takes time to load.
Lynda Sanders provided a large number of photos that she had scanned from the IPS albums and showed at the IPS reunions. Some were used in the ARGM slideshow but all of them can be viewed by clicking here.
