Hi everyone,

It was nice to finally connect faces to names. I was also struck by the size of the show and the excitement of the auction. I will definitely try to attend the seminar on a regular basis.

Many thanks to Arzi Yarom and forum staff for a wonderful event and thanks to Steven and Michael for very interesting presentations.

THANKS AGAIN TO ORIENTAL ARMS FOR ORGANIZING THE GATHERING AND FOOD (YUM!!) AND TO THE PRESENTERS VERY INFORMATIVE AND ENJOYABLE AS USUAL. THERE WERE PLENTY OF WEAPONS TO ENJOY AND HANDLE AND EVEN MORE LATER AT THE AUCTION SO WE ALL KEPT BUSY.

I would like to thank Lee Jones, the Forum Staff, and Oriental Arms for sponsoring the Seminar and Dinner. As well, the displays and meeting everyone was great!! I sent a email to Artzi Yarom to personally thank him for the Dinner and for bringing along three items I purchased from his Web-Site catalog. He is very much the gentleman.
This was my first trip to Timonium. Talk about a fast and furious weekend. Flew in to Baltimore Friday afternoon, rented the car, drove to the hotel in Timonium, had dinner, went to bed. Saturday: Spent the whole day at the show, previewed the Auction items, attended the Seminar and Dinner, participated in the Auction, and finally got to bed about 1:00AM. Sunday: Back to the show, drove back to Baltimore, dropped off the rental car, hopped on a plane back to St. Louis - with four new toys in my suitecase

.
I tried to do it all. I got home about 7:00PM Sunday night. My legs and feet sore from two days walking through every isle at the Show - at least twice - looking for Middle Eastern type arms. Talking about a kid in a candy store. That Show is a dangerous place for me to wander around in. The whole weekend went by like one day. What a fun time. I'll be back next year. Rick.

It's always a great time and this year was no different. Great company, interesting talks and displays, and good food. I hate waiting another year!
