I actually made it to the seminar. I got there around 7:30. Meeting Fay was great and I hope one day to take his class. He is one of those guys that you could just sit and listen to forever. Sorry Bruce, I did not get your message until this morning. I was wondering how many hamb members were there. I am in the middle of moving my shop now. Once I am settled I am planning on having a open house once a month, So all are welcome. I will post up the dates when we are ready. Thanks, Jon.
Hey Jon ,No problem ,I don't know if there were any other HAMBers there .I met Fay and actually learned a couple of things. Keep me posted on the open house in the future and I'll try to make the trip So. Bruce
