Hi Jason, I have much enjoyed reading your positive attitude here, so my reply is strong. I have no self-serving reason for replying with all these photos other than to remind clients and customers, who met and purchased from me there, of the good times we had and of how ready they were to "clean me out" every time I was there...and of how grateful I am to them.
When the Meets were each completed, I had been set down a road of further prosperity and modelling by a list of customers who had become clients, having taken my modeling with them and commissioning me to travel to or ship to their layouts in such varied, widespread venues as Park City , Utah, Kansas City, Kansas, Connecticut, FAO Schwarz, 5th Avenue, NYC, and many points throughout NJ, such as Manalapan.
I have not one vowel of complaint about York. I took home fistfuls of hundred dollar bills and rarely ever left with a single item not having been sold or promised for shipment. I often was sold-out by Friday mid-day. In fact, entertaining and very, very gratifying to me, was that my modelling of Forestry Logging scenes were often sold before I got them out of the car, or as I walked them toward my booth in the Orange Hall, on Thursdays.
Sitting in my SUV, relaxing in the very early mornings in my favorite spot near the roll-up door on the East side of the building, seeing the sunrise each day...... waiting for the doors to open to the vendors was a peaceful pleasure, too.
The Meets were especially pleasant events, also, because from my viewpoint, there I was among thousands of like-minded potential and/or actual friends or acquaintances who shared a hobby interest with me. What could possibly be negative in that formula!
