I remember the meeting like it was yesterday. A friend brought me to the 1993 CC>CC convention. I paid the admission fee to Michael Knapp who was working the door. As I entered the room the first table I walked up to was Bruce Landau's. I knew nothing about chips their values or what I was doing.
Mr. Landau told me to take a seat. Two hours later I had made one of my close chipper friends. I learned more in those two hours than I thought I would. Bruce sold me a few chips. In fact the very first chip I ever bought was from Bruce.
He informed me about Prodigy and the many collectors who were on line. He introduced me to Doug Saito who, over the years, became my closest friend.............The rest as they say is history.
We will miss you Bruce. We dearly "loved you". Eileen, our heart breaks for you. God Bless!!!
