Just a note before we all get tied up with either work (my case) or family (your case, hopefully) for the long Thanksgiving weekend.
I joined a coin club when I was about 9-10 years old and it was the highlight of my month every month to have my grandfather come and pick me up to drive me 30 minutes away for the meeting. He wasn't really a collector but he really made an effort to be involved with each of his grandkids in the things they enjoyed the most. Being a kid, it felt like that month took forever to pass and the meeting flew by as if two hours were 2 minutes.
I lost both of my grandparents in the last four months and I realized today that even though I will miss them, I know it was their time to go. They told me, frankly.
The happier thought is that now instead of having to wait a whole month to talk coins, or ask questions, or have a laugh with people I like talking to, I get to do so any day at any time here. I have learned a tremendous amount of things about a tremendous variety of topics from you all in the last 10 years or so. I have made some good friends along the way here and many good acquaintances as well that I think will go the good friend path in time.
Thanks for being the highlight of a grave shift worker's day every day ladies and fellas. I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving and holidays after. I already am.

There is some clubs in l.a. but they are all a hefty driving distance from me & I detest driving here at great length unless I need too.
Happy thanksgivings everyone, the most American of the entire year's holidays.

The friendship, learning, having people to talk to and trade with and dealer/collectors like Andy and Josh who you can trust make this a great place to grow and have fun too.
Amongst the many things i am thankful for this year are my friends and fellow collectors on CU.
