Mike and Ann are good people and what a great story of an exerience that all chippers I am sure would like to have. My first convention three years ago, I must have spent half of the first day at Mike's booth. At the 5PM close I had not made it through the first row of vendors! Sellers were lined up with Ralph Strandwold, Dale Seymour, Jim Garrard, and so many other great sellers with Strikes, Ivory, Farro and everything I could imagine. I will never forget my first convention including getting into the TAXI on Sunday and asking the driver, "Can you get me to the airport for eighteen dollars and sixty five cents?" *rof*
