Banquet Keynote Speaker:  Debbie Anderson, Dayton Codebreakers

Debbie Anderson co-directed the 2006 documentary film, Dayton Codebreakers, which was produced by Dayton's PBS station (ThinkTV).   Anderson is the daughter of Joseph Desch, NCR engineer and leader of a top secret codebreaking operation in Dayton during WWII. The Navy needed Desch's expertise to design codebreaking machines which were used against the German Enigma machine.  This top secret operation remained classified for more than fifty years.

Jim Weiner, program manager for ThinkTV remarks "Just when you think all the World War II stories have been mined, this gem emerges.  And it came to light because a daughter played detective in hunting down the top secret answer to what her father did during the war."
