Great job guys. I want to send out a great big thank you to all who helped make this show a fantastic weekend. We had large groups of people all day long around our display both days. I had a number of people compliment us on our layout. I kept in communications with Bill Grove from GTE during both days and he was very happy that we made the effort to make that show. He also got great feedback from people excited about our layout. For those of you who were not able to do this show, you missed a lot of fun. I understand obligations get in the way. Hope to see you next time. For those of us that stayed over, we were able to spend some quality time going out to dinner in the evenings have some fun and talk about things we don’t normally have time to do. We also have a new member that signed up at the show.
