Hello All:

I figured at some point before I leave that I'd introduce myself. This is my first convention, however I have been very fortunate and met many wonderful strikers at the Jan. Tournament and on other trips just sitting at the machines. I've only been in the hobby for a couple years and never made the convention because of Summer Camp for my son's Scout Troop was always the same week. I have a lot of holes to fill and looking forward to lots of trading.

Now that I have shared all that I am hoping my brother (John) will be among one of those who greets me. After all I am bringing my wife Jackie and my daughter Breanna to hang out with Sherry and Matthew while we are out striking. Breanna is geeked to see her cousin Chico.

We'll see you all starting tomorrow.
