Shout out to Andy, Laura, and Julie who I had an opportunity to meet for the first time during the West Coaster 2022 Toy Soldier Show held in Anaheim over the weekend. The first show that I've attended; it was most enjoyable.
I found it a real treat to talk with Andy in regard to the hobby, King & Country pieces from the past, and perhaps some in the future. Great stories indeed! Andy is a "buzzing bee" of excitement that all enjoy seeing. He adds true passion to the hobby with his high level of enthusiasm and contagious smile. I esp. enjoyed and appreciated him asking about my (and others') thoughts on different pieces.
Laura is a "classy" (and youthful) lady who shares her love of the hobby (and Texas). I enjoyed talking to her about my own family and her interesting background working with Andy toward the development of K&C's success. I truly wish K&C continued success for many years to come.
Finally got a chance to meet Julie at the Treefrog Treasures table seeing some great pieces up close. Julie is just a pleasure; professional and courteous. I can certainly see why Treefrog is a great store and forum.
I purchased some wonderful older pieces from K&C which I will be photographing in the near future, and some accessories to create a fitting setting.
Great event with my personal highlights above. Thank you Andy, Laura, and Julie, for making my weekend visit to California most memorable!
