Unfortunately at the time, my circumstances did not permit me to attend either of those sessions... the early days of the Lugerforum... ahhh I remember them well! How far we have come as an organization... I remember when the membership numbered less than FIFTY people... we are now close to 8500 registered members...!

One the original photo...

Names and faces I can remember,

Back row (left to right):

(Can’t Remember), Frank Manders, Ted Green, Hugh Clark, (Can’t Remember), Gerry Tomek (GT), John Dunkle

Front Row Left to Right):

Marvin Cook, Murray Willis, Ralph Shattuck, GT Jr, …. (Not sure who is on the bottom right…)

Good memory, the man to the left of Frank is his son, dont remember his name. Bill Forsythe is the man standing between Hugh Clark and GT. At the bottom right is Jack McCabe.

Ralph started at age 14 collecting Lugers and he told me at one time he had around 500 in his personal collection and another 1100 in inventory. All those Lugers in that room smelled great!
