Brenda and I are having a great time at our time share at beautiful Fairfield Grand Desert Resort ... now re-named, Wyndham Resorts.

Spent some quality time with several friends during our vacation trip to Las Vegas. Enjoyed some breakfast conversation with BriaN Friemuth at Bellagio on Tuesday morning and we attended the Southern Nevada Casino Collectibles Club on Tuesday night. Even exchanged pleasantries with Chuck Smorse who was in attendance. Very good meeting turnout. Had breakfast with Jim Perlowski this morning at the Omlette House; had dinner with the O'Neals, the Steffners, and the Donleys this evening at Ellis Island and we have been invited to lunch with Gene Trimble at The Palms tomorrow. Might take in a show tomorrow night at UNLV where Clint Holmes is appearing.

Too bad we have to leave this paradise on the red-eye out of town late Friday night and return home to reality in New Jersey on Saturday.

We're looking forward to seeing many more friends at the convention in August. If you have not pre-registered yet, or have not secured your hotel room reservations, I would strongly suggest that you do so quickly. The block of rooms at the Riviera that has been set aside for CC & GTCC is filling up fast according to Jim Steffner.
