Good Lord willing, I will be at the April meet and will have a thoroughly enjoyable time as I have at every meet I've been fortunate enough to attend since 1990 when I moved back to the mainland from Hawaii. I felt it was kind of neat to have a "special event" that benefited TCA members, just as many other special-interest groups have member-only events for their supporters. Sorry to see that go, of course, but we find ourselves living in a fast-changing society (unfortunately, in my personal opinion).
The Eastern Division has ALWAYS hosted an excellent event, and I thank them for the good times and fine memories they have provided.
