Hi Abe I was at the third table from the end on the back wall (near the snack bar). I was the one that had the Victor Schoolhouse with the smooth oak horn (still have it, unfortunately - it didn't sell). I sell with Mike Sorter, he was a tall guy with a lot of homes and standards. We had two tables, then Nestor Guzman was at the last table nearest the kitchen (by the chairs and tables). Were you next to Stan Spate? I am sorry to have missed you! John
