Joe and Ann Scheidler, along with son Eric, were the guests of Steve and Michael Peroutka when the brothers hosted their Annual Pro-Life Appreciation Dinner in Baltimore, MD, October 27. The Peroutkas recognized the selfless contributions of pro-life activists, sidewalk counselors, pregnancy resource center operators and pro-life politicians throughout the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. region. Alan Keyes gave a rousing keynote address, and Joe Scheidler offered closing remarks and a final prayer. The Scheidlers were especially gratified to be present at this year's dinner since an uncanny series of airline problems prevented their attending last year.
