Mr. Black,

I am a new collector - been at it about 9 months - and I want you to know that a new collectors forum would be wonderful. It is something that I had thought of as I would love to pick the brains of those whose names appear regularly on this and other boards. It is with much regret, growing daily, that I will not be able to attend the convention and so cannot be counted towards the necessary number to make this breakout session possible. But thank you for the suggestion . If you do put together this forum perhaps you could include a woman on the panel to address some aspects of collecting and trading that are unique to women - such as giving out home addresses (I got a PO Box). As a newbie (how long does it take to be an "Oldbie"?)I have always felt watched out for by the more experienced collectors in this hobby, I would like to thank them all. I am proud to be associated with this organization.

Thank you,

Amy Andrae
