    Me too, Rich...me too. I was wanting to go back one last time but the year I planned for my last Hara Hurrah turned out to be the year they moved to the fairgrounds. It just wouldn't be the same and I stayed home. Hoping there's at least Huntsville this year. :(

    Goodbye Old Girl. You were great once and provided the best Hamvention (literally) in the world at the time before all of this Covid-19 stuff. Maybe next year we'll all get to go to another Hamvention at the new site in Xenia, Ohio.
    One can only hope.
