My Buddy in Townsend, Mt. is married to the ex daughter n law of Allen and
Roz Bellman. He is the original artist for Captain America, and My Buddy, and his wife go to a lot of the comic conventions . I would like to go to one sometime, but I can't afford the hotels, at the moment. I could get in for free, and travel with my Friends, but the rooms would eat up any money, I would have for goodies. He and his wife are really nice people. My Buddy's wife's daughters are artists in Louisville, Ky., and their work has been chosen for the Kentucky Derby posters, three times, and they have done the art work for Woodford Reserve, Kentucky Bourbon special edition for the Derby. They also have art work hanging on the walls, on one of the Soap Operas on TV. I guess they didn't fall to far from their Grandpa's talent.
Those conventions look like a lot of fun.
I think you have ruined your chances of keeping your kids, happy without going to another convention!
In fact it looks like you "WILL" be going to another convention, since it also looks like your Wife was having as much fun as the kids!
