PATH Intl. Celebrates Ensuring Excellence and Changing Lives for 50 Years
|
|
By Kaye Marks, PATH Intl. Director of Marketing and Communications
Obviously, fifty years ago life on planet Earth looked quite different for its inhabitants. In 1969 the average cost of a new house in the U.S. was $15,550; average income per year $8,550; rent $135 per month; and a new car might cost a consumer $3,270. While the world economy has changed exponentially, so many familiar constants remain. On January 1, 1969, the Ohio State Buckeyes football team beat the USC Trojans in the Rose Bowl to win the national championship. Today, Ohio State plays in the same game against the Washington Huskies as people celebrate the promise of a new year and take stock of their blessings. Good books are still authored. (In 1969 Mario Puzzo's novel The Godfather hit the shelves.) And entertainment continues to fuel our imaginations and keep us laughing at the brighter side of life. ("Monty Python's Flying Circus" first aired on BBC One in 1969.)
To commemorate the golden anniversary of PATH Intl., the association, its members and stakeholders will join together in a year-long 50th anniversary celebration that begins now and will carry through to the 2019 PATH Intl. Conference to be held in the city of the association's headquarters--Denver, Colorado--from November 8-10, at The Westin Westminster.
