On Saturday temperatures were hot. Those who walked the flea market soon became drenched in sweat. It is a rare Hamvention at which one gets to complain about the good weather!
The action continued at MARCO's booth. Members old and new stopped by to chat, and we recruited close to 15 new members.
The banquet, held at the Airport Holiday Inn featured a buffet and a rollicking 80th birthday in the adjoining room. Lou Wiederhold, WA1HGE led us in a remembrance of departed members Ted Hatfield, KQ4IC and Alfred Greenwald, WA2CBA.
The President's gavel was passed to Mary Favaro, AE4BX, who already had plans in place for next year's meeting, to be held in Myrtle Beach, SC. The tentative date is April 5th to 7th, 2013.
Chip Keister, N5RTF presented a thought-provoking talk, detailing his thoughts about concrete and abstract thinking.
With bodies, spirits and minds all well-nourished, we said our good-byes until next year.
