    Looking good gentlemen, any stories to be relayed back to the rest of us from this convocation?
    There must have been at least a few tales told and mysteries solved.

    You and me both. I'm green with envy every time I visit @aethelred's library.

    The one thing I've got everyone beat at is not so enviable, perhaps. @Asheland was complaining about having "multiple chins" in the photo above, but I emerged the clear winner in the Jabba the Hutt Lookalike Contest, by a wide margin.

    Only in numismatic inclinations, and in connection to the Asheville, NC area, where all of these folks are from.

    I have known @Aethelred for 27 years and met @savoyspecial and @asheland through him, both in the last decade, though I moved away from Asheville 25 years ago and live in SE coastal GA now.

    @jalexfoster I met through @asheland, when he came to the last gathering, or convocation (or coinvocation), or whatever we're calling it now.

    I try to get up to the mountains at least once a year. Managed to do it twice this year, having come up in June.

    @ajaan would not require an invitation, being an Old School CU Forum Darksider who has met us at shows (and, I think, come to Asheville to visit, himself).

    It does seem we have the "Middle Aged White Guy" demographic fairly well represented.

    I mean, surely there can't be all that many middle aged white guys represented in numismatics, right? ;)

    We must be a statistical fluke.

    So do we have a new Pope yet?
