Well... somewhat inadvertantly. Packrat that I am I grabbed as many of
the posters and advertising materials that came by the stores in the early
days. Don't have an exact count, but it is in the multiple hundreds.
Actually brought two mailing tubes (stuffed) full of them to the last VCF,
but never got time to pull them out. Maybe this year (if I EVER get
organized) I'll get some of them in frames and bring along.
...of course, I've also been saying for probably two years that I was
going to get pictures of at least some of them and get them on the web
site... (sigh) (most are too big for my scanner!)
Coming soon (?) - Pictures from the 8th WCCF (March 1983)! (and earlier
as I find/get time to scan the pix/slides/etc...)
