Three of our five "charter members" gathered at the Turning Stone resort in President Andrae's suite and received a status report on the shape of the hobby from visitor GREG SUSONG. There was a good deal of jovial bantering until some ill mannered soul brought up the subject of "getting roulette" chips and then things got sticky. Lewin took the position that people who remove roulettes are guilty of larceny. When asked how he acquired his 100+ current roulettes, Lewin said, "I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I might incriminate myself." We discussed The [Hated] Lodge; Gene Trimble vs. James Perlowski; the two Ginsburgs; Archie Black, eBay, and the wonderful new edition of the Chip Rack. We vowed to meet again soon--many of us [two, actually] in Las Vegas in two weeks and one day.
