Hi Ted

I wanted to attend the upcoming National but, upon reflection, the culture shock of last year's hasn't worn off, and they just don't schedule seminars for me to give anymore. Lost my priority for tables somewhere around the 15th. And, somehow, I haven't yet figured out how to vote for people to go into the National's Hall of Fame. I loved the dinner and especially enjoyed seeing that so many young collectors are into T206 . . . and T205 . . . and T207. The dinner is part of the joy of the National I envisioned in the mid '70's when I wrote Halper insisting that a National Convention was the only thing that would legitimize this kids' hobby we adults still indulged in. As always, though, my thoughts will wander somewhere while the National is going on just as they used to every time I watched Mantle. As they still do when I have a stack of T206 in my hands. Enjoy it.
