Recent Event: Springpex 2011
Having Fun at the Circuits Table!
Springpex 2011 was a great hit this year, as it usually is. Lots of stamps, lots of dealers, lots of collectors. The kids table was jamming, and Mickey Innis was wearing his characteristic Cat-in-the-Hat hat. I showed up right when he was doing a raffle of some kind, and had kids literally jumping up and down to win free collections. WSCC members Virginia Randolph and Matt Cassetta had a great turn out with the circuits table, and Don Petersen and C.A. Stillions exhibited collections.
I also brought my friend Tom Meade out there as well. Tom is a budding collector and joins me every once in a while

at the regular Wednesday night club meetings. He’s trying to figure out what to collect and how to build it, but it’s always exciting to see a new collector digging in. He’ll be back! Especially when you have an expert collector like Matt Cassetta showing you the ropes!
Proselytizing for a new collector!

Washington City Despatch 
I had a great time at Springpex. Aside from the Philatelic show at the DC Convention Center several years ago, this was my first stamp show. I really enjoyed it. Springpex offered a very cozy and friendly atmosphere. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Thanks to Jeff, for bringing me along and teaching me the essentials on acid-free paper, tweezers, and other important stamp-related matters.
