I just found these pictures while looking for something else... My friend Bill Barrett and I decided to go to GSL in 2001 to get it off our Bucket Lists. So we made plans. Dave Pye, sent me an email inviting me to breakfast the first day of the show. I thought that was nice. But we were bowled over when we got there, all this in one room! Note that this was our very first impression of GSL, man were we happy we went!
Here's Bill and I before the breakfast. Man, we had hair and it's not gray!
I'll start with those facing us, the others are in the coming photos... Jim Keeler, who worked for Revell in the old days, Rene and Andy Kallen, Dave Pye (standing), Rik Hoving and Norman Veber
Paul Anastopolis, Pat Covert and Ric Golden of SE LTD
Rik Hoving, Norm Veber, Bob Paeth, Bob Korunow and Paul Anastopolis
Augie Hiscano (in left corner), Marc Havacan, Gregg Hutchings, Bill Barrett and Kirk Bell
Dave Lindsay and Juha Airo
Gregg Hutchings of Model Cars and Kirk Bell of Scale Auto. KIrk was editor at that time.
Sad to say we have lost several of these participants over the years, but we sure had a great time in 2001!
