32nd Consolidated Convention July 25-28, 2011

131 Years: The Boilermaker Legacy 1880-2011

Karley Power sings national anthems

Karley Power, daughter of Eastern Canadian International President Edward Power, sang the national anthems of Canada and the United States in the opening ceremonies for the fourth consecutive convention. Karley’s first appearance before a Boilermaker convention was in 1996, when she was less than three year’s old. She stood on, instead of behind, the podium – a fact captured in a photo that appeared behind her as she sang this year.
