Drats Tom, now everyone can see my receeding hairline. <g> Seriously though, it was a pleasure meeting you Tom (and thanks for the autographed chips BTW!), along with everyone else at my first convention. Everyone was so nice & I had a great time! After 3 years of dealing with so many of you, I thought it was finally time to match the faces with the names. My only dissappointment was that there wasn't enough time to meet everyone. I wanted to say a special "thanks!" to everyone who made it a point to greet me & make me feel welcome, the list is long & distinguished. I also wanted to say "thanks!" to all the club officers and volunteers who put on this great event. This was surely a trip that I won't forget anytime soon. Thanks again everyone!! Mike

PS. The most common question asked of me: What is "ianmugs"? Answer: My family picked it out when we first came on line, "Ian" is our grandson's name & "mugs" is for Mugsy, our best buddy Yorky of 14 years who we had to put to sleep the weekend before the convention.

PPS. The most common pre-conceived "picture" of me in other people's mind: Well.....let's just say I made Santa look young....and with less hair than him no less. Geezzzzz.......a tough crowd. <bg>
