In 1968 the Winkies once again returned to a private residence for the
convention. Edith and Warren Hollister hosted the event at their lovely
home, with its sumptuous Oz room. The first Oz costume contest was held
with magical denizens from all parts of the land of Oz parading around
the swimming pool. Kevin Harris won as Ojo. Professor Warren Hollister
presented an erudite account of the world of Oz depicted and developed by
Ruth Plumly Thompson, and Ruth Berman, from Minneapolis, gave a talk on
Ruth Plumly Thompson’s novella, The Curious Cruise of Captain Santa,
which not only read like an Oz tale, but was illustrated throughout in
two colors by John R. Neill.
