Hi folks, I was there (first time) with my son Cory who is very interested in posters. You probably noticed him more than me around on Saturday. He had a blue cap on and was down in front at the auction. We spent quite a bit of time at the auction and bought a few posters. The only Mopoers I met were Rich, Bruce and his son, and I already had met Grey before in Dallas when I took him the Grand Hotel poster last summer. Oh, I talked with Ed and Sue from LAMP who were very helpful. It was fun and I hope to make it next year (maybe as a dealer) with Cory. Cheers, Brek

Bruce Hershenson and his young son Luke were seen making the rounds, Grey Smith from Heritage stopped by to say hello, Ken Schacter was busy making deals, and the elusive Walter Reuben was spotted on a number of occasions. Eric took the time to introduce himself while on a trip in a crowded elevator, Doug Ball brought along young master Spencer and introduced him to the wild world of posters, Alan Heimann from Long Island was accompanied by young Robert in an encore visit, and Adrian Cowdry from across the big pond who made sure that I never left the bar thirsty. Art Judge led the usual contingent from Syracuse, and Cary Black made sure his perfect attendance remained unblemished. George Racz, Dave Rosen from Ottawa Ontario, Michael Greenwood from Orangeville Ontario,and Dave Ressler, all of whom spent.....ahem.....time at my table. Special mention goes to George Turzanski, who reads all the MOPO posts on-line regularly, but is afraid to join. Scott Burns and I did all we could to allay his fears, but only time will tell if we were successful. Are you reading this, George? Last but not least, my sidedkick Steve Peppiatt who, while not a member of MOPO, knows all the goings on by association. Appologies to those whom I've seen but forgot to mention, those who attended but I have not seen (now's the time to chime in), and those I've seen but didn't know they're MOPO members :-) Hope to see you all and a few more next year.
