Hi all,
        With Geoff Notkin's stunning entry, the catalog is, I think,
"finished." (Wow.... The 23 x 14 1/2 inch cover flat AND the #1
Edition.....what a way to "fill out" the list).
        I have also provided far more precise directions from
Inn Suites to the Auction. (For those who have already printed
Their catalog, I provide those directions below in this post).
        Later, tonight I will be "streamlining" the "print" catalog
For the purpose of printing catalogs for those who haven't
Printed their own. I will be "shrinking" the photos to about
1" and shortening most descriptions, so, those of you who like
Having larger photos and/or in color, should print your own
Catalogs TODAY. (I MAY be able to print my catalog right off
Dreamweaver without changing the on line print catalog, but
That remains to be seen).
        Precise directions from Inn Suites are:
FROM INN SUITES:

- NORTH (L) on N GRANADA AVE (toward W ST MARYS RD).
and go 0.7 mi
- N GRANADA AVE becomes N MAIN AVE.? ?
- Turn RIGHT onto W SPEEDWAY BLVD.
- Stay on E SPEEDWAY BLVD. for 5.3 miles .
- R on Craycroft (Just 2 blocks past Beverly where the
last 3 auctions were held)?go 2.5 mi on Craycroft??to
1884 S. Craycroft (at 29th Street)?

        This is also the last 24 hrs to order a Drake Cube. Most are
Spoken for.
        Looking foreword to seeing ya all there!
        Michael
        ??????????
