We held a very successful and interesting meeting on Sunday. Attendees shown (right to left) were Bernie Snyder, Ron Benninghoff, Danny Samuels, Ron Crawford, Klaus Rich, and Dennis Ramsey.

Louise Crawford, Mary Rich, and Wendy Synder also came by for the meeting, and spent some time with my wife Susanne as well as side trip to the mall. Pizza was brought in for lunch and all enjoyed the camaraderie Everyone viewed my collection and there was much discussion on the different types and ID models. Klaus brought a box of 1:200 scale models to sell. He also brought a box of small scale models he had made several years ago. Unfortunately, part of these were knocked over and a few suffered minor damage. Dennis is now the proud owner and is repairing them.

A Few more Photos. Ignore the dates. My Camera seems to lose its time setting everytime I change batteries.
