    We made a good team Ricardo and I also would like to thank Rick and Steve for helping with the fish wrangling. That second person helping with positioning the fish and flash sure does help with the photos and time spent on each fish.

    I have to give many kudos to Matt for photographing past shows by himself. I do not know how he did it and it sure takes a lot of time and work.

    I also had a blast at the show and got to meet so many people whom I have known but never meet, Keith, Rick (ok, said hi to Rick at the 2014 show), Ralph, Steve, Ricardo, Mike T., Cristina G., Jack Taylor, Jenene, Joe (two utes) and family and many ones as things are still a blur. lol. Also great to see John, his daughter Jamie (that is a kickass lady) and his family, Paul Butler, Andrew Soh, Larry, Rick, Wille, Barb, Linda Oi, Paul (discuspaul), Hans, Bob, Jerry and many others. If I missed any one shoot me a pm and I will add you here.

    I had a great time, as I always do at NADA, and it was so good to meet new people and get reacquainted with all the folks I already know. Thank you all who put so much work into this show! I didn't take pics this time.

    I had an absolutely super time at my first show.

    It was a pleasure I won't forget to finally meet & chat with so many familiar names from over the years - to name a few - Keith, Larry, Ricardo, Steve, Barb, Hans, Ralph, John N., Willie, Rick, Paul Butler, Joe, Bob, Jerry, Jenene, Linda, and several others I can't think of at the moment.
    Pat & hubby Tom were the only persons I had met before but it was great to renew the acquaintance.

    What a wonderful show put on by so many hard-working, dedicated people !

    Sure hope I can make it to the next one, wherever that may be.

    Oh, in the meantime I'll have my wife take a better pic of me for the avatar - lol

    The pleasure meeting you Joe and our short talks was enough to put you on top on my most memorable interesting people I have met list. I really enjoyed your company and opened up my eyes to how important life in general is and to live to the fullest. I hope you and your family enjoy the rest of your North American travel tour before returning back home to Australia.

    I'll jump in and say likewise, it was great to again see folks I met in Chicago, all the new folks, and particularly those I've known here on SD and could finally meet. I was also truly honored to win the bred by exhibitor class (I hope folks will forgive the bit of ammonia burn in the show pic, but that can happen when shipping). Also glad folks enjoyed the blue cheese I brought (Sorry Paul, they don't ship to Canada ).

    Well Steve, I'll definitely find a reason to get down to Oregon, sometime in the near future hopefully, to get some of that superb blue cheese - what a treat that was - many thanks for bringing some to the show !

    Give my regards to Cindy - a pleasure meeting her.

    That blue cheese....if Steve didn't keep insisting that others were going to come after a talk to try the cheese, I would have ate the whole slab by myself
