I will make every effort to make it! This is kind off a busy time of the year for my office, but hopefully a couple of days of my absence will not interfere.

CHEERS!

If you're too shy, Dan, I can always get Arleen to dance with me.

A guided tour would be great if you can pull it off.

Hy Dan, If there is any thing I could help you with from Centre County just give a buzz. This event looks like this could be something special.

BTW, Anybody coming here with their wifes, girlfriends, etc. out of the area, If they don't want to spend the day with a bunch of "WISs", Lancaster outlets and all the Amish tourist stuff is just around the corner for them. Should be something for everone.

JUNE 2010. NAWCC Nationals. National Watch and Clock Museum.

Let's do it!

Now how the hell did I get dragged into this one?

COME ONE, COME ALL TO YORK, PA. GTG, June 2010 !
Come to the NAWCC National Show, and see the National WAtch and Clock Museum and the Original James Bond Submariner!! A show organized by our own Dell Deaton !

See: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=86120

Oh yes, it's Seargant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band........

Whats up Stan ?!? Good to see you around again !
I do hope JJ will be able to attend next year
Even if that means myself getting on a plane, flying like 20+ hours, pick him up, and fly 20+ hours back lol Actually, imagine being on an airplane with JJ for that long ??
In all seriousness, I'm counting down the days on my calendar as well
