Is anyone near to Kansas City, Mo? I understand that Olanthe, KS is only about a 1/2 hour for the airport. I'll be at the FMDAC.org convention in October: FMDAC 25th Anniversary Convention and Treasure Expo Holiday Inn Olathe, KS Oct. 16 - 18, 2009 It is for metal detecting, but I am sure that you will enjoy attending, if nothing else to see us nuts run around & try to find the buried targets. Let me know if you'll be there and we can try to set up a meeting time. Also, if you care, I am supposed to so a talk on my book and on writing for magazines (Lost Treasure, and Western & Eastern treasures.] In the event that you have been AWOL for the last three months: my book: http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default.aspx?Page=81&ProductID=079482580X also available in hard cover. oh, if you metal detect, hey, why not come and join us!
Darnit. I'm in central Missouri, so its not too far from me. However, I think thats the same weekend as the next big coin show in St. Louis, so I'll be at that. And yes, Olathe probably is about 30 minutes from the airport.
That sux. I'll actually be out of town on that weekend on vacation. keep me in mind when you do another get-together!
It's about 12 hours as the crows fly, Noost. (I have a sis who lives in Monroe, MI, so I figured it's about the same amount of time.)
Oct 16-18 I have the option of attending three shows, one in the Twin Cities (MOON convention), one at Valley View Mall in LaCrosse WI, and one in Dubuque IA. Not too often three shows within two hours of where I live fall on the same weekend. Then on the 25th there is the Fall Coin and Stamp Show in Rochester MN, an hour from me.
