Pat, I will be attending that weekend. It's always a great event and setting for it. Wife and I will be staying at
King's Mountain State Park across the state line line in South Carolina.

It was a good time Pat, I found out I have to make some different Abo tools tougher than horn.
RickB , I wish I had known you were there; I would have really liked to have met you after all of these years. I was there all three days in the tent under the Picnic Pavillion.

Eddie, would have liked to have met you.  I was sitting in that empty red folding chair in one of these photos I took.
