Well, we had a great turn out for the 15th Annual Emerald City Potluck. Gil Hedges sent in this report. "We had folks from Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. Robin, Win, Bonnie, Jack and Edna, and my self wish to thank all the folks that came. Some of the people that were in attendance: Darcy and Bill Burger, Jim Sinsley, Dan Howard, Nathan Lamkey, Dennis Moeller, Rich Ager, Don Lewis and his wife Kelly and Ben Kirsten, Ed Sewell, David Bethman. We had about 15 tables with some great insulators on them. As usual the tables were inspected well by everyone. There was lots of food and everyone had plenty to eat.

The weather was off and on but for the most part it was warm and sunny. We were honored to have the Crown Jewels editors Linda and Howard Banks in attendance. I am not sure if Linda and Howard took home anything but fond memories, but I do know that Tim and Nathan did take back some goodies. Nathan might have even sneaked out some mud. We were very happy to have Vi Brown in attendance. A great thanks to Jack and Edna for hosting the show again. I look forward to next years potluck. The nice pieces included a blue castle, a nice amethyst California Santa Ana and a bunch of colored H.G. signals.

There was a trade of a light blue J-D dated cable for an early white porcelain egg. A hybrid M-4420 with an OB top on Lima skirts, which came down from a California line in the last year, traded hands. A big glass and metal railroad relay found a new home.
