  Nice story, and it's especially swell to hear it in perspective from someone
who's been going for eighty years.

How horrible it is to have so many people killed!---And what a blessing one
cares for none of them!

 Subject: [OldTools] Bud Brown's 50th
   
I went to Bud Brown's 50th show and auction.I was a little distracted by 
other events this year and was thinking of canceling, but I'm a 
collector, that's what I do, so off we went.I think attendance each year 
is a little less, and fewer dealer tables, fewer galoots. I don't know 
too many of the galoots that usually attend, but Tony Seo and Tom Dugan 
are pretty regular attendees, but not this year.The Leachmonster didn't 
make it.     54 tables, down from 80 years ago.
