Rick Hemingway is the man. Nothing seems to slow him down. What a great host. Linda and I will leave this morning. Best wishes to the Suponskis, who are home by now, but facing evacuation in Bridgeport. My mistake. Dave does not live in Bridgeport, as I had thought.

I don't mean to ignore the hospitality of Bill Kempfler, who gave away free display booths to the exhibitors when it was evident that there would be a few no shows. The display tent was enormous and dry. The grounds were fit for low shoes regardless of the wet conditions.

Rick Hemingway did a great job. I will certainly return next year. Enjoyed shooting the five stand with fellow parker owners and cant wait till the next event.

What do you mean "gave away free display booths to the exhibitors, etc."??? I paid a lot of money for my booth; is Bill refunding?? We need to clarify this RIGHT NOW!!!

Kevin, as usual, is right. Bill Kempfler "Let paid exhibitors spread out beyond their original assigned areas to fill in unoccupied space."

Charlie, Jerry Smith had a rare Grade 3 #5 frame lightweight eight for sale. I believe it is a lifter. It was not cheap. Maybe someone else knows the price. Sorry I did not examine it, because I had seen it before. The eight gauge Parker that was donated for the "silent auction" at the PGCA banquet was in the mid $300 range when I last saw it. I don't know what the final price was. Those were the only eights I was aware of.
