Anyone seen Barry at the show with his car?  Hadn't seen or heard anything from him for a bit now

I saw him at his T/A Registry tent. Well sort of. I broke my glasses right before the show, but I could tell it was him.  :icon16:

It was great to spend some time with you, Barry!  :2thumbs:

I did meet Barry at the show, but only briefly as he was giving a lecture. I said hello before I had to hit the road.

I met Barry and got to talk to him for about ten mins. I know He was busy trying to get stuff set up and was still nice enough to shoot the breeze with me.   :2thumbs:  Thanks Barry!

I didn't see the car, but I did talk to Barry for a while on Saturday.

This was my first time meeting him, and I was surprised.  I find that most people who really know the ins-and-outs of a hobby tend to be a little snobbish and distant.  Barry was just the opposite - He was very busy with the T/A reunion (and other stuff), but he took time to chat about my car, his car, some other cars at the show, life in Alaska, and just 'stuff'.  Quite a nice guy, and it was good to put a face with the name, since he has helped me by email in the past.

Good on ya' Barry - It was great to meet you!   :thumbsup:

It was good to see old friends again & new ones, I had a great time.  :wave:

It is a very busy place & I know I missed seeing some folks, sorry to those I missed.

I had a blast, I miss PA already..............
