[Sca-cooks] Pennsic Article

[margaret]

IIRC, the precise information on the birthday party can be found in a 
preface to one of MZB's collections that is buried in one of my numerous 
boxes.  I still have the 1966 Con material with the SCA info in it, but 
again, it's buried.

I think you will find that the birthday party was in 1966, because in 1965, 
MZB graduated from Hardin Simmons U in Abilene, TX and moved to California 
after her graduation.
