Archie, it was good to see you again, the convention site was nice and I had a great time as always. My wife and I enjoyed seeing so many old friends. I didn't have a chance to get to everybody in the room or get photos this year, I was actually in the hospital on Tuesday, and then back on Saturday - home last night. Happy to have been able to squeeze the trip to Vegas in.

Sheldon, thanks for inviting me to speak on Friday about my book, "The Roots of Reno." Charles, thanks for taking care of the Power point and getting it set up. To all of you who attended and those who bought books, thank you for doing so, and I'm sorry I didn't get back to a few of you later in the day, I'm afraid we left right after the speech at 10AM.

If I left you out, or you wanted a book, "The Roots of Reno" is usually $16.95 but I had a Convention Special of $15, and if you want a copy, please email me and I'll send you an autographed copy for just $15, including shipping. This morning I got cleared for a trip to Tahoe this weekend, so I need your order right away.

Best to everyone and I hope you all had as nice a time as I did. AL
