_____________________________________________________________________________
Carolina did not appear in any Film Festivals in 1991-1992. And she was very happy to be back among friends and fans at Knoxville's convention, as she put on a lively show at the Banquet.
Lash LaRue was asked to attend, but wasn't sure he could make it. So he surprised everyone
when he showed up at the last minute! (He gave an acceptance speech & poem, for the award
to be presented at a later time). Ben Johnson was not able to attend, due to obligations at NBC.
But a taped phone message was played for everyone at the Awards Banquet.
