The Convention

[Clark Sprague]

Hi, Phil.  I am just sorry that I had so much going on, that I missed the 
List meeting, so I could put a face with all the names.  That's not the only 
thing I missed!
    That aside, I just wanted to agree with you, the Rebuilders 
presentations were where I was, all of them, and I don't think that anyone 
anticipated the interest level that was generated.  As evidenced by the fact 
that they had to bring in more chairs about 3 or 4 times during the first 
session!  This was the best that I have experienced in a Convention, so far.
    On the downside, I sure wish that the Suppliers would have been there, 
and I know that there were a lot of people disappointed in that regard.
