Hey Pappy!
I think the "weak link" is, well - me

Sorry about that! With over 4000 folks on this site, and many living in the US - you would "think" a meeting would be a "natural"..?? What Ed & I envisioned towards the end of this year, a few months ago (when he lived just up the street for a few months) - was an informal meeting of Luger nuts.
However - *if* (and heavy on the *if* here) we were to plan it far enough in advance with enough interest - I think another convention would be of tremendous interest... I also know I'm not alone...
So - are you volunteering to make it happen??

If so - let's start a new thread, and we can "stick" it at the top of this Forum... If we plan mid to end of 2007 in a convenient location - who knows what could happen???
Best to you - and let me know your thoughts, OK?
