This was after Gerry Feinman (IBM Rep) broke the paddle and it first
was put back together with duct tape and then a titanium piece was
used to join the two pieces for a Paddle Titanium Fix.  Gerry also
burned the paddle (actually just charred a small corner).  There were
other hi-jinks.  There also was the virtual paddle (clear lexan, I
think) given to Robert Rannie when his shop got MVS.  SEAS (Share
Europe) also had a paddle.
