I didn't make it to the show.

I heard the nuns were robbed, which totally sucks, but a donation was taken up and they did OK with that.

I heard a back bonnet was ripped off from a Futurity machine.

I also heard that flyers were in the bathroom and on the table warning people about a dealer selling fake trade stimulators and that dealer left the show Saturday afternoon.

Was there any kind of memorial for Alan Sax? Perhaps something in the space that he always used? Hope so.

Did anyone attend the COCA meeting?

Sure does not sound like the same show that it used to be.

Prior to the COCA meeting there was a short memorial and a moment of silence for Alan.

A Hawaiian shirt hanging in his spot would be a fitting tribute. Alan always had a smile and a handshake when you passed by.

Alan was my neighbor when I lived in IL, about half a mile from me. He had an impressive collection in a separate building.

I bought an entire 8 ft. by 10 ft. storage unit full of slot machines from him about two years ago.

As I recall, his son was getting involved with the business, and I met him at the Chicago show last year.

Life is too short.

I was at the COCA Mtg. and the Convention all 3 days. The Meeting was downstairs in a smaller room than it was last time and there was no banquet either just some small deserts. The convention was fair, not as busy as in previous years but not bad. There was a few ripoffs, Picking on the Nuns in the annex being is the lowest blow a person can do.
