A 'reunion' in Banff would be a great idea! I was so very intimidated at that first meet and all I could do was silently wander around and stare at all the incredible talent. While Banff was an eye-opener the Mazeppa Meet the following year is the one that changed my life!

If there's a renunion in Banff, I'm in, even though I wasn't there the first time. My brother was, does that count?

Kansas City, I think '83. A bunch of greats were there. Steven Parish, Al Grand, and more. I first met Mike Stevens there and attended a little work shop. I was so excited I slept on a friends sign shop work table so I could stay late and get there early. After reading about Mike Jackson's meet in OK. I knew these were the people I wanted to be. The rest is history.

My first meet was in Chicago, I don't remember the year, but it had to be 20 years ago. Bob Behounek, Ken Millar, Superfrog blew in on an old Harley, and many others. It was held indoors at a Holiday Inn.

Memories that stand out was meeting and talking with one of the original owners of Wehrung & Billmeyer Gold. He was an old gentelman who demonstrated the art of hand beating the leaf.

Another was a display of 1950's era sign layouts from various billboard shops in the Chicago area. These were all hand lettered on heavy illustration board. The "Chicago Style" was very evident in these designs. I will never forget them.

Mike Jackson's OK Bash Fall 1982(?) It was a real eye opener. I hopped a ride in Butch Anton's van along with about 7 students from the sign class at Detroit Lakes. I had never met Butch or anyone else on the trip, and I made my husband come to the hotel where I was meeting my ride so he could write down the license plate number in case I never showed up again. LOL!!! I had been contemplating leaving the sign biz - I was soooooo sick of red and black on white. That meet made me realize that signs can be beautiful and customers will PAY for better design! I did my first glass gilding on the HOTEL FAYE project under the guidance of Kent Smith (forever thanks mentormentormentor), saw Gary Rhodes create wonderful antique treatment for firetruck scrolling. Chided Mike Stevens for the "Bruthers of the Brush" poster - what?-no "Sistuhs?" Shot 5 rolls of film. Keith Knecht pinstriping; sandblasting and router techniques; Raymond Chapman shocards; handcarving, and so much more. My life and my career were changed forever. Thank you Mike Jackson!!

I have to say that Pontiac, Illinois 2009 will rate way up there among some of the greatest meets of Letterhead history. I have talked to several veterans and read many posts that will agree with me. It was my first full-time meet where I was able to work the whole 4 days. I had been to Jacksonville, Il in 2006? but it was just for one day.

Bill and Jane had a small, one day informal mini-meet for us Illinois/midwesterners which I was able to attend.

I am really looking forward to attending many more in the future. Yes, it does change your life. I was thrilled to meet so many great walldogs in person and get to know them a little.

In a word: Inspiring.

Sign-cerely, Steve
