Saw no Tyco Sharks.
PS: ...And some FREE paperwork including a 74 catalog in good condition.

Alex, Man I had a camera in the car and never thought about pics of the show itself. Sorry!!
I didn't see George but did talk to an author that was selling books there about the German conspiracy to destroy the PA Horseshoe Curve during WWII.
I posted my stuff I picked up under "Loose Ends".

I need to get back up there soon. If I do we`ll hook up. maybe go look at some real stuff since I can get on railroad property without tresspassing. I need to hit the WMSR too and get intouch with a few people. Funding is the main probelm at this point ..lol
