Thanks : Net54 dinner

[mayx2]

I attended the Net 54 dinner and had a great time! I met alot of great guys at the dinner.A big thanks to Leon,who by the way is alot younger than some of you might think,and all the people who treated me like an old friend even though it was the first time meeting them all.Even after last call some of the guys were nice enough to teach me not to play cards after drinking alot of Bud! Looking forward to next year and another great time.Hope all return home safely! Lou,

I too would also like to thank Leon and the sponsors who made the dinner possible. It was a great way to meet some of the people who frequent this board as well as those who mostly lurk, some members went out of their way to make my wife and daughter feel welcome as I'm sure they felt a little out of place and I probably didn't pay enough attention to them throughout the evening.

This was my first national and it is a bit overwhelming to say the least, I'll be a little more prepared with a specific want list next time. I was able to pick up some nice (although post-war) Reds cards for my collection.

Thanks Leon! It was great meeting a number of people I've only known virtually. I wish I could have stayed longer and met everyone.

Anyone have any pics of the N54 dinner?

Carlton Hendreicks took a bunch - I'm sure they will be forthcoming.

I have to agree also. This was my first Net54 dinner and I had a really good time. Thanks Leon for all that you did.

I, too, would like to thank Leon & the sponsors for the dinner. It is without question the very best part of the entire National experience. (My downtown Cleveland experience was a close second ) I am truly impressed at the increasing number of people that attend each year. Alan

Thanks Leon, SGC and all those behind the scenes. I really enjoyed getting to meet people with like interests(Card collecting and growing this wonderful hobby)

Thank for allowing me to feel welcome at the Dinner and on the board.

This was my 2nd National, first Net54 Dinner, and I had a fantastic time. (Never dull when you are wedged in between Dan McKee & Patrick Preece ) After meeting a handful of members last year, I was able to expand those virtual relationships a bit further and I just have to say, that it is a great bunch of gentlemen in the Net54 family! There are still many I missed, and look forward to meeting at future Nationals.

Leon - Thank you for the Dinner and your hospitality !!
