Finally got back home this morning, after an entire week without the Net.
We all had a great time at the show, but my daughter Melissa (age 10) had an awesome time. While she was on the floor, she ended up with a bunch of free stuff: a nice gentleman came by and gave her some autograph tickets, she got a picture of herself with a T206 Wagner at Memory Lane's table, and came home with all of my boxes filled with her stuff. And she may have paid all of $10 for what she got.
Sorry to report, but she was bored at the dinner. She and her mother went over to the pool once they finished eating. I, however, enjoyed meeting some guys I knew from their names and avatars and remembered again that I love this hobby; despite the negatives, the hobby is great because of the 99+% of hobbyists who look beyond the B.S. The personal interaction is one of the reasons I keep coming back to Nationals.
