Dan,

Give us the scoop as to how and when that happened. How did you guys meet ? :)

Take care,
Brian

Hi Brian,

It was actually quite funny. First, I was waiting for the exhibitors show to open up and I saw Kelly and Bob Anderson walking up. Kelly and I talked for about 20 minutes or so and then parted when the exhibition hall opened up.

I ran into Tim in there. I should have figured he'd be there as he is a MAIA member. I told him Kelly was also there so he found him and we took a picture together.

The next day at the show Ken Smith and I walked past each other, turned around ("Hey, don't I know that guy?" sort of thing) looked at each other and greeted and talked. I told Tim he was here and that Kenny said that Randi Shea was there as well.

Randi came down after the first day's events were concluded and we all talked a bit and again, I had my student take a picture of the group. I figured where in the heck would we different fellows ever meet in the same venue again? Probably never.

Yours,
Dan
