Opps! Either I forgot about the 40 that did attend the opening ceremony or I
never heard about it. I remember a guy named Gary, but I had no idea he passed.
I really wish I had heard of it, I would have gone. I archived a bunch of
rec.toy.lego stuff to disc thinking of doing some research concerning the
group. I will search for it in my vast collection of CD's and see if I missed
the loop on this.
My appologies to all those that made it happen. Is this still going on? Are you
meeting yearly on the anniversary date? Or was this a one time gathering?
