Kevin StrussBarry, we must have met on the phone shortly after you got in the hobby. I vividly remember buying E cards and T cards from you when I was still in high school (graduated in 1986).
Mark, the first of the Labor Day/Memorial Day shows that I went to was in 1978 when I was 11. I remember talking my Dad into dropping me off in the morning and picking me up when the show closed. I had not yet even met Tony Alfaro. I think that I met him a couple of years later when he was working for Tony Galovich. He was probably only 12 at the time. I remember saving up $500 from my paper routes and then going on a two day spending spree at that show.
