<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 15244294, member: 112&quot;]Being able to do that was always one of my favorite things about going to coin shows. It&#039;s also what I miss the most ! There&#039;s people on this forum, and all the others, that I&#039;ve known for over 20 years, but the only time we ever got to actually see each other was at coin shows because we lived hundreds if not thousands of miles apart.</p><p><br /></p><p>There were even times when parents would bring their children, anywhere from 6 to 10 years old, and it was the child who was the collector, not the parent/s. And they wanted to go to the show and also be able to meet me, and I them, because of all the time I&#039;d spend helping them, teaching them. Those are among some my most memorable moments. And in a few cases those children are all grown up with children of their own, still collecting, and they would reach out to me via this forum or email 10, 15 or more years later just to say thanks for taking the time to meet them, spend a bit of time with them. And the whole time I was actually enjoying it more than they did ! Memories like that mean more to me than a whole lot of things in my life.</p><p><br /></p><p>So personal, yeah, it is, it doesn&#039;t get any more personal than that ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
