For those who couldn't make the reptile show in Daytona missed a Tell Hicks oil painting of legendary Tattoo Pete Gardiner. Tattoo was there in all his glory and did another great job as benefit auctioneer.

That painting looked like a photo when I first saw it. The detail is fantastic and the picture captures Pete's nutty personality perfectly.

I wholeheartedly agree, Carl. By the way, it was very nice meeting you and the many other people with whom I have emailed back and forth over the years.

Yep, same here.
I met Jack Wattley (the dicus king) a few years back at the Expo and spoke to him for quite a while. Had wanted to meet him for many years too.

I would like to say it was great seeing you again John and nice meeting you Dr. Zo

See you next year.
