................Make Lemonade !!

I am truly disappointed that we will NOT be having the Convention this year. This would have been my 28th straight Convention as a Dealer. There are only 3 members that have had a Dealer's Table at all 27 previous Conventions. The other 2 members are my good friends Walt Dirzuliatis and Steve Passalaqua.

I will miss seeing all my Chip Buddies and Customers at my Table. I will miss the Banquet, the Greg Susong gathering, the Splash Bar gat together, putting up an Exhibit of part of my collection, going out to dinner with friends, etc, etc, etc.

Now to the Lemonade - being quarantined has given me a chance to catch up on many projects that have been on the back shelf for several years. I have been working on projects in the yard - landscaping, building planters, working on the garden, etc.

The real area where I have been working overtime is on my Chip Collection and Chip Storage. I have made substantial progress in getting my chips in order but I have a lot yet to accomplish to get things where I would like them. In a future post I will give you an example of what I have been doing with some of my Chips.

So hang in there - keep busy and this Virus will pass or be conquered - remember we overcame the Spanish Flu 100 years ago without any computers, advanced medical treatments and other modern advances. I am confident we will rise to this challenge and come out stronger than ever!!

Take care,
