Hi John, were the heck were you I kept looking and did not see you on the dealers list. I was right next to the "Mike-the Doctor is an and his son.I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the HMV I got from you-I hooked up with Dan Reed And talked a bit bith with Jerry Bias but did not see you. I sold some stuff -it was my first time doing that- but while I did not have a lot to sell but it paid for my table and gas from Mesa, Az. Maybe next year. Thx Abe Feder
