I thought the 1st one was put on by Jim Nowell in Orange County in 1969. Jim (and Gavin Riley, Steve Brunner, Clay Hill and a few others) kept putting them on every year thru the '70's, and had a monthly meeting in Garden Grove starting in the early '70's. I stopped going (and collecting) in early '76, and when I got back in 2000 all but Clay were out of the hobby, from what I could see. Anyone know what happened to any of them?
There was also an early convention in Detroit, but I'm pretty sure it was a year or 2 after Jim's.
