he Tennessee Society of St. Louis held its 121st annual banquet at the St. Louis Woman’s Club. The evening began with cocktails, followed by dinner. Tennessee Society president George P. Dorris IV presided over the evening’s program, which included a series of traditional toasts, dancing and a presentation by representatives from the Dyersburg Army Air Field Museum. Pat Higdon and Nancy Holman, curators from the museum, talked about the important role the Dyersburg Army Air Field had during World War II as a training facility for the men who flew the infamous B-17 bombers that helped the U.S. and its allies defeat Nazi Germany.

The society maintains its annual banquet, frequently attended by prominent statesmen, jurists, educators, industrialists and private citizens, plus one business meeting and smoker for members only. The society never has gone beyond its original purpose. It has no philanthropic hobbies, no scholarships to give, no political theories to defend. It simply constitutes the medium whereby former Tennesseans convene at regular intervals and renew home ties.
