Jocke, look for Chad : )
Chad the watch guy is leaving for Basel as we speak.


He hosts our GTG at Henne Jewelers in sunny Shadyside...


He told me that he'll have more goodies this year for us!

Lucky fellow...


Jocke, Chad and the rest of yunz, have a blast and take pictures, if you please.

Here is the link to our hotel, The Doubletree in Monroeville, to make a reservation for this recurring, very enjoyable, event.

Hope to see yunz here on June 21-24.

With Craig's calculations, likely a short thirteen block stroll.

Springhill on route 48 is 1/2 mile from corner of 48 and 22...where the Hampton is.

Almost directly behind Max and Erma's and beside the Holiday Inn.
