Just got back from New London, CT. The signing at the Marvel Shop went well with great participation by collectors. Nancy did a wonderful job signing the new Kilauea HL and all the others folks brought. Gayle, store's owner, was a gracious hostess providing cookies and soft drinks for the crowd. Gayle also has a wonderful HL collection almost as good as Freds but she's missing CH1. Her collection was on display for all to enjoy. Thanks Gayle!!!

I'm very impressed with the Kilauea HL. I'm not surprised that it is such a wonderful piece. All the releases for 1999 have been super. I'll give this one "two thumbs up" like all the other latest releases.

Chatted with Ron Foster and Bruce from Norton, Mass. for a while. It's great to meet some of the other collectors in person. It was great to speak with Nancy again. I look forward to stopping by and seeing her at the Snow Goose in Plymouth, Mass. in May.
