Greg in Cincinnati.
It was super fun to go out to dinner with the MRS. and your friend. You took a couple pics. Please email them to me or add them to the thread. I plan to go to ABQ this year so hope to see you there. What fun tourist destination is on the agenda for 2015?

Sleeping bag, ha, I would have asked Tom if I could move in, Tom, You ever thought about adopting a grandad?.

Tom,
The hallway displays just continue to get better and better -- VERY nice!!
Glad to hear that you are planning to come back to Albuquerque next year-- we have really missed you and it will be great to have you back!
As soon as Bob posted the first picture from his set, I knew we was in for a treat. This has to be the finest 'Yesteryear' collection in the U.K. to go 'Public'.
Thank you Bob, I now know what I have to aim for to get my collection to match...!!

How kind, but I know of a few better one's than this, and by a considerable margin in one case. One in particular I have been trying to liberate models from for most of my collecting years without success!
