Gwen Blakley Kinsler was honored for her service to the Crochet Guild of
America at the '96 Chain Link Conference. While living in Mexico in 1991,
Gwen founded Chain Link, a newsletter for crocheters. Her next goal was
for crocheters to have a convention of their very own, which led to the
first-ever Chain Link conference in Chicago in 1994. The Crochet Guild of
America was formed at that conference, and Gwen served as President of the
newly-formed organization from 1994-96.
