Hey guys/gals..

Well after working from am to pm..you guys covered about everything of the
OCA 2002, and yes I agree 100% in the years that I've been attending they
have beaten records and more. This years was no exception to the previous
years..Superb lineup of speakers, superb hobbyist in attendence..and those
two make for a great weekend of fish talk!  I was glad to see the names
mentioned..and met some really good hobbyist that aren't on the list as
well....and as Z-man mentioned..$10 and you got your $10 worth at every
speaker and event..$10 is a unbeleivable cost for an event such as this..I
hope more people pencil this in..and I can even let you know OCA 2003 will
be the weekend PRIOR to thanksgiving again..so plan those 2003 vacations
accordingly!  See ya at the ACA 2003 first I Hope!!!
