    They all sound like some pretty impressive collections to me. Currently I try to concentrate in corresponding with veterans instead. Collecting medals is an expensive hobby and I figure that there will always be time for it later on.

    Best regards/ Daniel

    Well, all I can say is that it's a pity there's no symbol on the Forum for someone shaking their head in sorrowful disbelief....( shake, shake, shake... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ) ;)

    ( PS : Are Hooter's thinking of opening a branch in London ?? [​IMG] )

    Great photo's! Post some pic's when you meet again, this is fun to watch. I told my girlfriend you guys would meet at Hooters and she started to laugh. She knew Hooters and was there once. I didn't realize that all female personell is selected on special features unless Barbara told me. Although I found it a strange name for a restaurent.

    Carl is your left hand looking for an iron cross at the group picture?

    My EK collection:
    1 EK II
    1 cased EK I

    Translation of the poster:

    The defense.

    The attack of the enemy breaks on the tough defense of the infantry.

    Gregs got a one nice collection that stands out by itself.

    Garys is more International than mine or Gregs combined.

    Mine--you can say, I have a one track mind when it comes to collecting militaria. :D

    PS, glad you got to see the pictures.

    I think Greg will take it with him for trading in the afterlife.

    "We'll" have to see about you getting an Ek--will we not? :D

    Carl, for watching over those ladies, you deserve a medal. It must be a tough and dangerous job, but its good to know there are brave men like you out here willing to take in on. :D
