Bob, thank you for the pointer to the OGR thread.

I always assume that room-wide photos of a show were taken during lulls in the show because those are the only times when you can take photos that will have the stuff on the tables visible in them!

That photo tells us that Erik Stott was there. He's the guy with his back against the wall on the left side of your photo.

I think I can post directly from the photos sent to me.....hopefully not exposing mine or his computers. I'll only do a few in case they can't be seen by members here. I can see them, but maybe not you. Please let me know if you can see the photos and I'll post more.

Just curious guys, where you able to see the photos I posted that I received in an email? Trying to find out if I can directly post this type photo here or if I have to send them to my photo host site. :D

But, more importantly, had a great time meeting folks and talking while running trains at Carey's
Thanks to Carey for hosting again, it was a great time!
