Hans...........
Do you think you could organize a mini-meet at Jimmy's between now and the convention or maybe after the convention? I bet if people could fly/drive/train/bus or whatever to get there they would be far more inclined to buy vacs if they can see them in person.
Jimmy if near enough to me that I would be more than willing to drive up to have a, "look-see", at his sellable items. I'm sure some of the long time club diehards would move mountains to make a trip there. Does this sound like something that could happen? (For me, I need a lot of advance notice to get the time off for a weekend as I bid my schedule 3 months in advance. Not sure about others, but the more advance time the better usually works best for all.) Charlie W. | ||

Hey Hans, if you put a gathering together, let me know. It's been years since I've been to Elizabethton and it would be great to see old friends. John | ||

Hans, be sure and keep us posted if you are planning something. I am sure that Jimmy has so many machines that most of us have never seen.
