2013 VCCC Convention

Will,
Thank you for all the work and effort you put into the pictures and posts.
I agree, it makes the Convention come alive. So many nice shots and cleaners.
Also very nice that you took the time to identify the people.
I appreciate each and every shot.

Hey Will love the thread, thank you for this.
In reply 131 that is our very own John Zigenhagen (sp?) he is a wonderful person and anyone who has not been blessed with the chance to meet him is really missing out. I could sit and listen to his stories for hours.

2013 convention

Hard to believe it’s been 9 years. I’m in photo 62 with an old ge upright. I had a really good time, learned a lot and met some very nice folks. Sadly, I wasn’t doing so great in my personal life. Things are much better now. I’m a grandpa to 2 beautiful girls, retired, and In a great relationship for 8 years. I work part time at a job I really like. Hello to all the collectors I met in 13!
