Hey Guys and Gals, I hated to leave before supper. I really enjoyed my time at the GTG.

Unfortunately I have a busy day tommorrow and I need all the rest an old guy can possibly muster.

I'm actually traveling from Muncie IN to Ft Wayne IN in the morning. Then I have to travel back to Muncie IN, drop off the wife, and then head to Indy to catch a flight to New York inthe early evening hours.

I had a fantastic time. Got a chance to look at alot of watches which most of us don't often see, especially all in one place. Alot of outstanding watches.

Not often do you get to spend time with people who share your passion. Just amazing, and the fact that everyone there was so friendly.

Definitely considering going to the next GTG, that is as long as you are willing to take a newby like myself.

I got to hear and learn alot and I had a fabulous time.

Thanks again.

Dan

Dan thank you so much for being the "official photographer".

I owe you one. As you know work created the "perfect storm" for me and you came to the rescue.

To all that attended the Columbus GTG my heart felt thanks. There's a bit of work to getting one of these put together and Diamond Cellar went way above and beyond. They were over the moon with our turn out and the warmth everyone presented on their behalf.

It only shows what a great bunch of people we have on TRF
