I would just like to say a special thank you to all the Pacific NW Chippers who attended our trade session yesterday. It was great to see everybody, we did alot of trading, dealing and telling chip stories.

I would like to say a special thanks to Alec and Jodi Garcia from the LA area who are on vacation here and made a special stop to join us. I'd also like to thank Doug Jones, also from LA who was here on business and took time to join us also.

We had our get together at Chet Pasternack's home and others who attended were Dave and Carol Wendelton, Claude Argo, Pete Lowell, Del Cushing, Ernie Norgard, Mike Baranske and myself.

Mike Baranske brought some really special C&S chips for me and also some unknown Washington chips for Ernie.

I will try to get another trade session going in late fall with lots of notice so that more local chippers can join us.

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE

Jim
