had a great time at this years convention visiting with old and meeting new friends. scouring through all the great display tables and books looking for chips. found the original Pioneer Glass from Walt G for a great price. bought chips from Jerry Birl, CT Coins, Bill Judge, Great early El Cortez matchbooks from Bill and James C. Cool old Las Vegas Mini decanters from Rich Burgel. Said Hello to Steve Bedo and "Cigarman" . Gene Trimble was noticeably missing as I looked for him several times to say hello. Thanks to all the folks that work so hard to put the convention together every year. It is without a doubt the highlight of my year each and every time I am able to attend !!!!
