> Not only will I be interested in meeting my smithing

> either, from when I was in Seattle 35-40 years ago.
> Suspect this  trip is going to be almost as much fun as
> Pennsic- and I'll be following up  with two weeks at
> Pennsic.

> If things work out, I think this will be an interesting
> summer ;-)
