Wish I could, we have an auction on the 10th, sounds like a blast, I havent been to one since I was 15 years old, that one was at millersylvania state park, would have been about 77, back in the Ed Meredith days.

If I can attend one someday I'll volunteer to be a ring man and bid spotter, I can catch a bid at 100 yards (I only take wink bids from ladies though, so if you're a guy raise your card)

Is there going to be a Trapper Ed class again this year?  I didn't see it on your schedule. I'm bringing my son.

Yes, it's on there, Saturday morning.

Missed it again! I will make it again one of these years. Always some good information to be had at the Rondy.

I'm sorry I missed you.  We did not stay very long on Sat.

[Humptulips]

I know. I saw you once and then you were gone. Didn't get much chance to talk to you. Seems like half the time I am preoccupied with some chore needs doing.
