Dale did all of the hard work with his first books. Our group is humbled by the massive amount of hours spent by Dale to put it all together without the technology we enjoy today. Dale had some great collectors on his team too and our team knows that with the work of Dale, Allan Myers, John Benedict, Ralph Strandwold, and a host of great collectors, our project pales in comparison. We started working on the project right after the 2009 convention and thousands of hours later, we are nearing completion. Dale's team did the real work. All we did was do something that we thought needed to be done to help our hobby, for the love of the chips, and to honor Dale's legacy. We are honored that Dale allowed us to do this project.

I think it would be a great idea to work with the Casino Chip and Token News and I know out group would be happy to do something once our project is completed. I look forward to seeing Bud again and meeting John.

Roy will be there and he has a flight out Friday evening like you. Jim Myers I think will be there but we probably will not know for sure if Jim Garrard or if Mick will be there until just before the convention. It would be great if the whole team could be there.
