Some assorted photos of the HLCCA Conference '99 held in Pittsburgh, PA the weekend of
June 11-13. I drove from home in Minnesota to be an exhibitor (as well as a collecting
fanatic). I came away with a few more goodies than I arrived with - a good time was
had by all (..and especially me!).


(Left) The two prizes and the 1st Commerative Juice Pitcher.

No big announcements here...those came later during the
awards dinner. Note the standing room only!

In the left photo, David Schaefer - HLCCA Dish Editor (white shirt and tie) discussing some
of the finer points of dish collecting with fellow HLC enthusiast, Vaughn Vandermeer,
from Pheonix.  In the right photo, wearing the blue ribbon name tag is Steve Beals - one
of the primary writers for the HLCCA book and seminar speaker at the conference.
