Greetings...Yes as dealers we would be interested in coming to your shell
show.  The usual custom for dealers is that we pay so much for each table we
reserve...You can get more information possibly on this from Lucy Clampit,
who is this year in charge of arrangements for dealers bourse at the C.O.A.
in Houston, which is in June.  If you are a member of C.O.A. you can find
her address in the membership list.
When you have finalized your plans do let us know...Our e-mail is
