    Hi Everyone,
    it's been a while since I've posted. Maybe because it's been a while since I've made an addition to my Dansco 7070. While in Boston, I thought it prudent to fill in a hole. Nothing fancy, nothing expensive. I just found a nicely worn Barber half at Harlan Berk's table so I nabbed it.

    I also picked up a 2010 Canadian Specimen set? Why on earth would I do that? I just got married so it seemed appropriate to get one. Plus we just got a kitten an the twoonie has a design with two lynx cubs on it. The RCM had the olympic medals out, and that was cool. I got to hold one, and they gave me a button to prove that I did.

    I did however see some of St Gaudens' work:

    This is my first time in Boston, and I've pretty impressed with it having had my perception of the city been tainted by an obnoxious former roommate. I've been taking pictures here and there when I can.

    There's a lot more to see in this city I'm sure, but finding the time is tough. It's been a fun show.

    love the half. Hard to find above fine, how is your 7070 coming along otherwise?

    This 7070 will take a while to be sure. I haven't added anything at all in a while due to life getting in the way of things (as wonderful as they were). There's still many, many holes.

    If you are going to be at the show tomorrow or Friday come to the Page table 1628 and say hi. I'd love to meet another CT'r
    If I'm not there check back as I check in every ten minutes or so. You can also find my card on the table and give me a call if you have a cell phone with you.

    Thanks for the offer. Looks like my day is going to packed tomorrow, and I travel home on top of it all. I'll see if I have time to wander by.

    I arrived home late last night, no thanks to a huge electrical storm in Chicago. I love thunderstorms, but not while packed like a sardine on a muggy uncomfortable plane. No scent of the rain nor sound of the thunder. Just the captain on the loudspeaker.

    Yesterday was a busy day for me so I really had no time to check out anything on the floor. It's a shame too, because there was a lot of ancients at the show and they were really starting to catch my eye. I wanted to wet my appetite a bit by getting a little bronze Constantine like I did when I was a young collector but, like I said, I didn't have the time. Oh well. Next time.

    Here's a directory of photos around town. I didn't wanna post em all here.

    Nice pictures and thanks for sharing. I think the best picture is the one at the top of this thread. Good pickup.
