The Dinner celebrating the 143rd anniversary of the Master’s birth was a momentous one.  The usual traditions and toasts were performed, including the Sherlock Holmes Prayer, the reading of the BSI Constitution and Buy-Laws, and the reciting of the Musgrave Ritual. 
 
Robert Katz once again toasted The Second Mrs. Watson, William Hyder toasted Mycroft Holmes, Susan Rice toasted Mrs. Hudson, and Sherry Rose-Bond ended the formal toasts with one to “The Most Dangerous Gang in London.”  Bruce Montgomery regaled the crowd with his father’s “Aunt Clara” and his own set of new verses. 
 
Tom Stix then turned the program over to Mike Whelan, who emceed a riotously funny roast of Tom. Mike Whelan then presented to Tom and his wife Dorothy two beautiful expressions of the BSI’s gratitude for their work on our behalf.  Dorothy received a crystal vase on which was inscribed “Presented with Affection to Dorothy K. Stix, The The Woman, by the BSI, January 10, 1997.”  Tom received a crystal presentation piece, etched with the alternate dust jacket design for the British edition of The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes by Vincent Starrett (published, appropriately enough, in 1934, the year of the founding of the BSI) inscribed “With gratitude to Thomas L. Stix, Jr., Wiggins, for keeping the memory of the Master green, by the BSI, January 10, 1997.” 
 
Tom Stix announced that he was stepping down after eleven years as Wiggins, and was passing the mantle on to Mike Whelan. (Listen to the recording below.) Dante Torrese closed the program with “A Long Evening with Holmes.” 
 
Beverly E. Wolov was honored as “The Woman.” Eight Irregulars received their shillings. 
 
At the next day’s Sherlockian Cocktail Reception, David Stuart Davies performed The Hound of the Baskervilles in a one-man, seven minute performance.  Philip Shreffler was presented with the <a href="http://www.bsitrust.org/2015/01/glossary.html">Morley-Montgomery Award</a>.  Judge Albert Rosenblatt presented his annual poetic account of the BSI Dinner, the Sherlockian Weekend, and the Sherlockian Year.

The 1996 BSI Dinner

The Dinner celebrating the 142nd anniversary of the Master’s birth included the usual traditions and imaginative toasts.  Tom Stix was at the podium for the dinner, thankfully looking well after a recent illness. Sherry Rose-Bond toasted Peter Steiler the Elder. Robert Katz’s annual toasts to The Second Mrs. Watson have become legendary, and, once again, he did not fail to outrage the attendees.  The theme of the 1996 BSI Dinner was “My collection of M’s is a fine one,” and this was reflected in presentations by Joseph Moran and Shirley Purves. Evelyn Herzog also celebrated Canonical M’s in verse.  Tom Stix announced that <a href="http://www.bsitrust.org/2015/06/robert-thomalen-interview-oral-history.html">Bob Thomalen</a> would be stepping down as Cartwright of the BSI, and Mike Whelan would be filling this position. With the sad loss of the BSI’s secretary, John Bennett Shaw, Tom and Ruthann Stetak will officially take over the title of Simpsons, a role that they had been performing during the past year. 
 
Barbara Herbert was honored as “The Woman.” Eight Irregulars received their shillings. The Queen Victoria Medal was awarded to Robert Thomalen for his work as Cartwright on behalf of the BSI. (See the <a href="http://www.bsitrust.org/2015/09/the-1969-bsi-dinner.html">1969 BSI Dinner</a> for background on the Medal.) 
 
At the next day’s Sherlockian Cocktail Reception, Margaret Nydell was presented with the <a href="http://www.bsitrust.org/2015/01/glossary.html">Morley-Montgomery Award</a>, the first given since 1980.  Judge Albert Rosenblatt presented his now traditional and always creative poetic account of the BSI Dinner, the Sherlockian Weekend, and the Sherlockian Year.

The Dinner celebrating the 141st anniversary of the Master’s birth boasted a diverse slate of presentations, including Marina Stajic’s “put-‘em-on-one-at-a-time” presentation on Victorian undergarments; Paul Herbert’s report on two Sherlockian films that never made it from script to screen; Tom Stetak’s discussion of Canonical lawn ornaments (which might well have been subtitled “beware the deadly sundial”); David Stuart Davies’s well footnoted report; and Sherry Rose-Bond’s toast to the “Second Most Dangerous Man in London” (not who one might think!). 
 
Myrtle T. Robinson was honored as “The Woman.” Eight Irregulars received their shillings. Dr. Robert S. Katz was honored with the Two-Shilling Award. 
 
At the next day’s Sherlockian Cocktail Reception, William R. Cochran, editor of The Baker Street Journal announced that the <a href="http://www.bsitrust.org/2015/01/glossary.html">Morley-Montgomery Memorial Award</a> (established by Lew David Feldman in 1958 for the best contribution to the BSJ) has been revived. The author of the best paper published in 1995 will receive a prize of $500 during the 1996 BSI Weekend.
