bdgrange Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Here is a pic from the 09 S.F. Tai kai. Gordon Robson is off to the left in suspenders and cap in back of Fred Wiesberg's table on Sun morn. A very fit Moses Bicera here and a very nice person as well. thanks Bill de Quote
bdgrange Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Posted September 14, 2009 Here is Bob Benson at the show also David McDonald at his table wrapping tsuba. Brian Tschernega, habaki maker and behind him real tall, Tom Helm program chair with the Northern Cal. Club. The man with the long beard is Mark Walburg I think Bill de Quote
Brian Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Lol...sorry, couldn't resist. :D Thanks for the pics Bill. I am extremely jealous! I will be there oneday, I promise! I like the casual dresscode too Brian Quote
Pete Klein Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 You know Brian we had such a good time at that show. I really wish you and all the other members could get to it. It's just SUCH a good time. You see a lot, learn a lot, and over time make some of the bestus friends you'll ever find. Just seeing the picture makes me grimace -- eleven more months! PS: it's sort of difficult to see but if you look to the right of Benson and up a bit there's a guy with a white T shirt leaning against a table. That's me sitting at the table with my friend Chuck Granick and I think it's Cyrus Chan we're talking to. Not certain. And yes, that is Mark Wahlberg with the beard. He can't do the Calvin Klein adds any more unfortunately... LOL Quote
Ted Tenold Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Pete, I think that's Mike Yamasaki. Yes, it is a fun fun show with lots of good stuff. Nice to meet and talk with you at the show Bill, thanks for sharing the pictures. Quote
Jean Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks a lot, I've waiting for pictures for a while, NMB members attending the show, should take pictures and post them under Ban penalty :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote
bdgrange Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Posted September 15, 2009 Another one. Morgan Yamanaka and new friend. This is Albert Yamanaka's brother. Albert produced the much acclaimed Yamanaka news letters. The sword is my Rokudai Tadayoshi in its new shirasaya. kind regards once more Bill delagrange Quote
bdgrange Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Posted September 16, 2009 Brian,it is somewhat ironic that the man in the pic you referenced to is also another polisher (forget his name) and he is looking at a Yasukunito owned by the man next to him, Mark Hull, who owns every one of the Yasukuni smiths works. That would be 12, I believe, plus some duplicates. Bill de Quote
Pete Klein Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 Ted -- yes, it is Mike -- thanks! Quote
