Well, I will not be driving cross country to the Convention as I have done for the last 16 years. Do to my recent medical problems and not being able to handle a 30 day "road trip", I have decided to fly to this year's Convention !! I hope to resume my driving adventures next year.

Not being able to drive will drastically limit the amount of "stuff" I can haul to the Convention, but I will still have my table "well stocked" - so make sure to stop by and say hello to me at table # 30.

I also, have had to change my planned Exhibit ( it was going to be spectacular) to accommodate the lack of transporting space. However, I'm in the midst of planning another different, but I hope equally interesting Exhibit. This years marks my 25th anniversary as a Member of the CCGTCC and also the 25th straight year that I will have a Dealer's table at the Annual Convention. This is a very special Convention for me !!

I have also had a "Special" Personal chip made up to celebrate my 25 years as a Club Member.

I will be arriving in Vegas on Sunday night June 18th and returning home on Tuesday June 27th. I made my flight and hotel arrangements last night.

I was NOT going to miss this Convention and I look forward to seeing ALL my chip collecting buddies and having the best time I have ever had at a Convention.

See you ALL next month.

Take care,
Jerry "Flying High" Birl
