Elections were held. Micah Tasker succeeded Rich Pompeo as President. A small show and tell program yielded some early 1900’s technical and novelty items. Meanwhile, the Mart saw activity, particularly with watches. A couple of us pondered some automatic wristwatches for daily use, while our more sophisticated colleagues dealt in collector-status timepieces.
