Hi Everyone

Obviously I have a much slower recovery time than Woody. <img src='style_emoticons//wink.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’wink.gif’ /> There was so much to keep one on the run at the convention I needed to catch my breath. The exhibition hall with all the pretties is, of course, the main attraction. Our Florida Flamingos group wore pink feather boas to the opening of the hall. We “flocked” our friends by adding a few of our feathers to their name tag. In addition there was the collector's market, various seminars and presentations, auctions, round tables, luncheon and annual meeting. And of course, the fun of room hopping seeking treasures. Even though there were not other collectors primarily dedicated to solids there were plenty of solids to be found. As Woody said we both found some we wanted. One of the collectors I met has a collection of 2000 solids. I had a wonderful time and so enjoyed seeing Woody and a lot of other friends. Most members are very happy with the choice for next year. New Mexico sounds like a great place. Hope you all will consider joining in the fun. With Woody's new specially group we can anticipate more emphasis on solids.
