Jim Gagnon and I are pleased to let all know that our first meeting was very worthwhile. We had several in attendance including John Berube, Jim Gagnon,Barry H, Paul Liscio, Paul Stilihia, Don Tassie and Robert Touts. I felt humbled by the in depth knowledge of all there.
When I arrived Barry and Robert were busy fixing one of Jim's pinball machines (he has several.) Jim's family room looked like a mini casino, the only thing he didn't have was cocktail waitresses!!!!!. For a small group we had a little of everything, chips, roulettes, slot cards, room keys, and more.
We bought,sold and traded in addition to sharing info until about 4:30pm. If it wasn't for the long drive home, we would probably still be there.
I want to thank in particular, Jim Gagnon again for his hospitality and Barry H for sharing his knowledge with us and unselfishly trading and selling items at bargain prices. Barry had little to gain from us, we had a lot to gain from him. Thats what is great about this hobby, people giving without thought of personal gain.
My only regret!!!, that cold weather is coming and we may not be able to do this again until spring. Pictures to follow, I hope.
