We absolutely should have name tags. I am fortunate to have met Mike by accident. I would have loved to have met Harold. I was looking for Ralph English and never found him. Probably walked right by me as well.

Yes, happy birthday Mike, ye olde turkey slayer!

George, meeting you was one of the highlights of my weekend. You are one of my favorite Parker People! I had the honor of sitting with George Lander and his son Billy at the HOF banquet. I got a little better acquainted with Bruce Day and got great advice on a new gun purchase from him. I also met Larry and Debbie Frey, Mills, Alan Swanson, Mike McKinney and a few others for the first time. I was hoping to meet Harold Pickens, Rich Anderson, Mark Oulette, and many others but I didn't see them or if I did I wouldn't have known it. One of the reasons I go every year is to meet you guys that I share time with on this forum. Maybe next year we could have a designated time to meet at the tent, put on a name tag and spend an hour putting faces to names. Anyway, I had a great time but, George when I said I only missed 3, I meant times they called me to the line - not targets.
