a word of concern on sharing equipment invantory.
TCA has had  big hiests of major collectors using their  their own
invantory to select who visit..they have been known to come on site with
a moving van after scouting out the empty house during the big shows
 i put off joining TCA for 50 some years and dropped out as soon as i
made a trip to the york show, the national meeting in Grand Rapids and a
local Kadi meeting. 

I do not like dorp ins to our bce runs for this reason. there is nothing
like a show to study the show case window to decide if it is worth a
moonlite trip to clean you out.  Bye,    bj.1
