Went with Terry Frye and Tim Kobernik (GTTim)
We had a great time. Saw a lot of sheet metal we don't usually see. Vendors we don't usually see. Saw some high prices and some reasonable prices. A pair of NOS Wagonaire tail lamps w/lenses - $350. They did not sell. A pair of fresh chrome full flow valve covers that really looked nice for $295. A pair of chrome covers NOS for $325. I didn't ask on the nos C/K fenders. Fresh chrome bumpers are up to $370. Used A/C setups are still $350 with parts missing.
I saw a lot of familiar faces. Met Bob Andrews (Bams50). Really great guy! He's got a lot of energy I don't have. Just a young pup though
Always great to see Bob Palma and Dick Quinn.
Only thing to me was if I drive 800 miles to a swap meet I'd like it to be a little bigger. After all the hype over the years I expected more.
Still had a great time!!

"One after another they volunteered how in their families and in their
communities they were expected to be responsible for their behavior, how
honesty was assumed to be the rule, not the exception. They also talked
matter-of-factly about the sense of duty to their country, a sentiment not
much in fashion anymore."
