Great seeing so many folks and seeing so many great guns! Dinner at the country club was fun and what a big crowd, more than I expected. I spent a lot of time looking at guns and six years or so into this, I'm still learning what is high condition and what is just a refinished gun. Many thanks to Brian Dudley for his help at one particular table. So many people I enjoyed meeting for the first time and getting to see again, too many to say thanks for your kindness. Hope to see many of you at Hausmann's.

The Southern was great this year. Good weather, but rather warm. I got to meet some nice new people and see many familiar faces. I also had the chance to chance to see some very nice guns brought in by people looking for information.

The show was fantastic! If you missed it this year, I highly recommend planning to be there next year. Good lord willing, we’ll be back! For doubles this is the single best event of the year in the entire world, I believe.

A special thank you to our BOD and volunteers who make the banquet and the other events a reality.

The hours and hard work the BOD and volunteers put into these events is truly a labor of love and their accolades are well-deserved!
