This is the first FUN show I have missed since I've been a CC&CTCC club member....and the second show since 1975.
(Which doesn't mean I won't be doing business on the bourse from Loxahatchee <g>)

This slabbing issue has us all up tight, Archie, and I think it's the worst we've been up against in a long time. We've been able to overcome some heavey problems including the recent Paulson "Cuban" chip deal. I'm worried about some manufacturers working with the slabbers. I want to see us do more than we're doing now, and doing it as a club, together, but at the same time we still need to respect those who may be looking at this whole situation at different thinking levels...and it's those who I do not want to see offended, especially when they, too, are against slabbing.
