If you can't find the booth numbers, just look for this young couple. Sorry I can't be with you.

K EvansI hope to see those of you that I met last year and meet many more of you, I will come by the "AR room" as time allows (my wife and I are convention co-chairs so we might be a bit busy), if there is anything we can do for you, just ask one of the convention volunteers for Karl over Rebecca and we will try and help you out. We sincerely hope you all have a great time at our convention.

BiebsThere are 4 or 5 conference rooms on the right side wall at the end of the hall before it turns and opens up to the main convention hall where the DSC Show is held. It was in one of those last year, i imagine more of the same in 2012.

retreeverLooking forward to seeing my friends. Wink we will miss you and sure hope you can visit us again.
The Omni is open and if you park near it or are dropped off at the front door. Walk to the escalator and goto the second floor across the walkway and you are right at the convention entrance. The AR room is to the left as you face the exhibit hall or facing the Omni hotel to the right. Was talking with Mike 70465 and wife Katherine and Martin Pieters, Mr Champlin Arms,
Craig Bottington,a bunch of PH's from Namibia, Walter Enslin and our favorite Karl S. who guided CCdoc to his big bull ele.

bwanamrmPulling out of the drive in thirty minutes... see y'all there!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

retreeverThank you Dan. Spoke to the president of DSC and had a very pleasant chat. He thanked me and all of the AR community for their support of the DSC. Wishes all of you the best.
Today was very busy. Met an AR member whose Grandfather was one of the Rough Riders charging up San Juan hill.
Todays evening get together was very nice. Many people there a relaxed and enjjoyable evening.
Thank you all,

RustyAs always, it was such a great treat to see Mike, Cherie, Pierre, Mac, NE450#2, Hog Killer, Chris Sells, and all the good people in the Heym booth.
Had a great visit with Bailey Bradshaw and with Tip Burns over in the Mauser booth. Chatted with Doug Turnbull a few minutes as well.
On my way out I saw the AR hospitality room. Almost didn't go in, but felt I need to see who was there. Way back in the room on a conference call was Tim (Antlers). We just spoke briefly, but always good to see old friends and make new ones along the way!
Thank you all!

Todd WilliamsI had a chance to meet several people I've only spoken with through AR. It was nice to put faces to names as although I've been going to the DSC shows for years, I'm a recent participant on AR.
I had plans to meet several others that for one reason or another, never happened, mostly due to the time getting away from me.
I look forward to meeting more of the AR community next year.
