it was also the 1993 AOAI National Meet.  Perhaps that is what you were looking for.  

No Gary, it was long before 1993!......Any other thoughts here?

ANSWER..........The reunion was held in the year 1981 at the 'Century Center' in South Bend, Indiana

In 1981, the SDC International Convention was held in St. Louis.  Was this at an AOAI event that was separate from the SDC?

Neither SDC nor AOAI sponsored this event Gary, It was hosted by the (at the time) Century Center director Gus Saros.

It coincided with the Century Center re-opening.
