Looking forward to it, as always.

I've missed one meet since the first one I attended with my dad in 1975 at the "Dust Bowl". I was 14.

Thank you for doing this for the club, Jeff. My hat is off to you. See you there.

Mike Spaziano.

That meet was an event to itself. The nights were great.

Larry, how about bringing some of your own stuff? That would make it a better swap meet.

I'll never forget all of the years attending and selling at the LBMTC swap meets from Hamilton Bowl, Long Beach College parking lot, etc. As a kid, I remember riding on the back of Model T truck with the water tank that would drive around so to keep the dust down at the Hamilton Bowl. If my memory is correct, at Hamilton Bowl, Ed Archer bought a Model T Police Patrol from Paul McGinnis, who was my first Model T mentor. The evenings were special, especially with the usual shenanigans that always happened! Howard Genrich called the swap meet "The Gathering of the Faithful". It still really deserves this moniker. 71 years later, it's still a very special event. Have Fun and Happy Hunting!

Does anyone remember "Hamilton Falls"?

If you attended the Dust Bowl meet, you know what I'm talking about. ;)
