A good time was had by all. Many people there and there was a special cake and other baked goods and refreshments, all Free. Vincent Greene's Grand Nephew was also in attendance along with other special guests.

The 150 pages of the exhibit were unbelievable.

I bought these two books at the Kashmir Bileski Book Sale.

got the first book jimjung..Been there once, wish I had the time to attend..Anyone out there thinking of going..Do so..You will not be disappointed.

I agree. I went there with my sons (made arrangements with Garfield Portch).

Had a great time. He showed us how the expertising machine works and met an expert on large queens that happened to be there. Also checked out the library and heard some great stories.

A little hard to find, and make sure you have a phone since the door is locked and there is no buzzer.

I wish i'd be there...May be another time. I know it is unlikely, but a demo/conference on the VSC6000 would be a good topic to include into next year Orapex show, for those living in the Naiton capital area....Just a thought...

Gilles, that's a good idea. You should send Garfield an email. I don't think you could move the machine since it is a bit large but maybe a video or maybe Skype ???

The 150 page Exhibit will be released as a book, due out in the Fall sometime.
