My thanks to the 2 people (so far) who reached out to meet up with me in Vegas this weekend. If the phone conversations are any indication, these mini-meetups should be fun and interesting. One gentleman suggested meeting some morning at the South Point, though we haven't set a time because I haven't received permission from my wife yet, haha! If anyone else wants to be a part of the meetup, call or email me. 530-570-2222, barry@sunset.net. Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you all masks on, no handshakes, and vigorously washing our hands (and chips?) afterwards, of course. I'll take pictures, even if it's just me sitting alone because everyone bailed on me, and maybe there will be a big write up in the next CCA magazine. I'm kind of new to the group (just over a year), so meeting you all in person helps me get to know other people in the hobby.

P.S. I spoke with John Rauzy yesterday, and boy does he have a history with this club. Knew all of YOUR names, so I assume many of you know his. Anyway, he lives near some of my relatives and I'm going to go visit him and hopefully to do some trading (or probably buying, since he can't possibly not already have everything I have). I'm sure I'll also do a lot of gawking as it sounds like he has an amazing collection (and his stories are wonderful!). Isn't this hobby grand? Anyway, if you're in the Vegas area this weekend, let me know. Or if you're passing through, or live in, Reno, give me a shout. Thanks in advance.
