I'm not very pleased to say that they decided to hold it every other year.
I probably should be a little relieved though since this group couldn't even
agree on a date for the show. They decided it was too much work to hold it
every year so they are going to alternate the semi-annual auction with the
Symposium. So I will get back to you on that next year. I would really
like to see you guys there. I know Bill wanted to tie there also. I hope
we can keep the interest alive running it every other year.
I met Diana K. last year in Newport she seemed like a really neat person.
We're getting a lot more women in our group also. I'm hoping to try to make
it up to one of your meetings. I have DEM classes every Thursday through
December for now.
Warm Regards,
Deb

Speaking of coming down your way, when is UFTRI having their day long fair, I'll get a group from UFT to come down. I think it would be fun to have a ladies table for a few hours at a show, we have 8 in our membership now. You saw my tying table at it's best, now that I have this long contract gig it's out of control, but the for swap I hid all the unboxed stuff out of the way.
I did make up a inventory system using excel, and I have a Pocket PC that I can carry with me to avoid those tempting clearance racks at the shows, not to many duplicate buys this year.

Peggy, that's a great idea. My wife went and bought some Hungarian at the
Danbury show, and we already had it at home. Simply because she didn't have
that info, she blew $10. There's four or five things in her "kit" that she
coculd of used as a sub anyway. Course i have no problem with the "extra"
that's fine. But the idea of not over supplying (and not wasting money) is a
good one. Guess i should of thought of that a few years back, LMAO. A
material like Hungarian WILL get used. But i can't even imagine actually
using ALL of what i have of so many materials. Not in this lifetime anyway.
Oh well...........hopefully it'll fall into the right hands. One of the
antique dealers at the show in Danbury this past weekend, had grab bags for
$3. I got three, and my wife got three. There's $18 more, LOL. The bags had
great "stuff" but i bet we didn't "need" any of it. Just that they were so
full......lol. I did make one great score though. I got about 240 blind eye
Partridge Bartleet hooks in sizes from 4 to 4/0 all for $70. That's a steal.
These are pre-Mustad too. Beautiful hooks. mark......
