	Yes, my 11th show since 1979. Most who were there were for a reason. Plenty of time to reconnect to suppliers and friends. I especially liked the UV sensing additive that was put into some injection molded give away bracelets - when the bracelet was exposed to UV (outdoors in the sun) it changed color - Just my two cents Jim Wilson
