17 degrees? Now that is mighty cold. But..you have some nice warm memories of a great event (actually, many great mini-events rolled into one). It has been one great time since meeting at the Tomek's..right up to the finale at CAF (yeah, it was kinda coolish on the tarmac, but seeing the WWII planes was well worth it). I have to say, after visting with Ralph and Nancy and examining so many wonderful examples of Lugers I could not sleep on Saturday night. How many times does one get to hold an unfired 1917 artillery? Or just get 'let loose' in a room with almost 2000 different Lugers in it? The closest I can come to describing it is being in a library and getting to sit down and 'read' through each book. A little overwhelming at first but once I realized I would not be able to take it ALL in I just focused on an area and several hours slipped away in the blink of an eye. Lugers are so neat but I have to say that meeting all the wonderful people is way too much for words. I want to thank everyone who showed up for both me and my wife Linda. We have had such a great time. (In fact, we are going to stick around for awhile )
