The total receipts were $840, so we raffled off two tickets for $210 each.&nbsp; Bill Anderson/PennyGuy and Mary Burleson of Whitman Publishing won the 25/25 raffle.&nbsp; (An extra thank you to Mary who graciously donated her winnings back to WIN&#039;s Summer Seminar Scholarship.)&nbsp; A BIG HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who generously helped our our scholarship fund - I personally appreciate every one of you!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Soon it was time for me to pack up and head to the airport.&nbsp; Due to the computer glitch at an airport in Virginia, a couple major airports in New York and DC were completely shut down which created havoc throughout the country, including O’Hare.&nbsp; So I kept checking on my flight and was very grateful that my flight was not delayed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got through security quickly and had some extra time, so I found an air conditioned restaurant and for some dinner and a drink before my flight.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_3147_zpspcojpvzr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_3148_zpszu7d6uyo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Back at my gate, I ran into the PCGS folks who were on the same flight as me – this is my favorite PCGS rep – Ophelia!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_3151_zps7bgvgdhu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
