Easy for you to say Chuck. Your wife only goes to keep a watchful eye on you. If my wife gets wind that we go to look at hooters, I'll get grounded.
I wonder if that was a Freudian Slip on Dean's part? |

Frank :
It is a difficult job to select an event location that pleases everyone . The event locations that were selected while I was events coordinator for some 12 plus years considered several things ,not limited to just one feeling . Factually-----the demographics of the PGCA says that approximately 75% of the membership live east of the Mississippi ,with the geographic center of the mass within a one days drive from Louisville ,KY. , the center !!! I personally took time to fly or drive from Vermont to check out places in Willington ,OH-- Columbus ,OH-- Cincinnati ,OH --Lexington ,KY---and Louisville , KY. I know that there were MANY people that did not show up for the annual meeting that are PGCA members , even though it was within the one day drive limit . There is one other question that comes to mind----------Who is willing to spend the necessary hours of organizing the event to make it a successful turnout ???? It is not easy, believe me . The PGCA also has a presence at Pheasant Fest that has been held in Minneapolis , MN and other Midwest locations that VOLUNTEERS are always welcome . Allan |

Allan, you don't have to apologize for your choices. Many Parker collectors go to Las Vegas every January regardless of where they live. It was always a cheap trip for me when I went, even though I live on the East Coast. If the PGCA annual meeting is at a California Side by Side Association event, I will consider going, even if I have to fly. I didn't like Louisville as much as Vintagers, because it was a gun show venue rather than a shooting venue, but I am an old Louisville attendee, so I went. I even liked Richmond, because we drew some collectors and guns out of the brush. I think we should go to Cody because most of us have never been there. Did we have a Cody meeting? I would be willing to do it again, even if we have been there.
