<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1746176, member: 16948"]I was sitting at a table with David Lange (NGC) who wore this “I’m With Stupid” t-shirt that had a finger pointing to his left. It wasn’t long before someone sat down on David’s left – and guess who it was!! Of course, I just had to get a photo! This is one of my favorite photos of the whole week!!!</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_2054_zps40bf0a22.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>I attended the first session of my new class, and knew immediately that I made the right decision in changing classes to the exhibit class. This was the PERFECT class for learning how to put together a competitive numismatic exhibit! The class went from 1:00 to 4:00 pm, so after it ended I had a little time to polish up my presentation.</p><p> </p><p>I arrived an hour early so I could set up my presentation, make sure the technical aspects were working properly, etc. A few people showed up while I was testing the equipment, including Todd who took a photo of my “audience” who, of course weren’t there yet since the class didn’t start for another hour. But that didn’t stop Todd from getting payback for my posting the “I’m With Stupid” photo on Facebook! This is what he posted on Facebook in retaliation with the caption “All the attendees for Charmy's class tonight...” Ha!</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/Presentation3_zpse1645037.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>But here are photos taken DURING the actual class…</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/Presentation2_zps29d4d36b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/Presentation1_zpsf0a4d982.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>I was a bit nervous when I was giving the presentation, but according to the comments I received, I think my little program went over pretty well.
