    While at the ANA show the Pages booth was next to the BEP. The photographer from the BEP came over to my table one morning with a problem. His camera batteries had gone dead and he didn't have any spares with him. There is nowhere in the convention center to buy batteries so I gave him a set of mine. He aske my son and i to come to the BEP at the end of the day for a "special treat". When we got there we were introduced to three armed treasury agents. They proceeded to open one of the cases they were guarding and the photographer took a picture of my son and i holding the contents. I was told this "doesn't happen" and we were the only ones at the show that got this treat.

    He also took the photo below of Christopher and I with the printer and the plate for the limited edition print they were selling at the show (see RickieB's post)
