Thanks to Charlie W., Charlie T. & I forgot his name. (at my age the memory fails sometimes). I traded for and bought 170 chips. 34 of those chips are going in my collection and I hope many of the others are going to a few friends for their collections. Some in the end will end up on ebay.
It took Marlene and I 9 hours to make the 4 1/2 hour trip. Hit a few Antique stores on the way. Did pick up one Casino chip from 1967 RAINBOW CLUB 25 CENTS
BLACK HCE. Stands on end and appears to be in good shape. Haven't scanned it yet.

We had a great trip and really enjoyed ourselves.
