MSRAL-Con 2012 - A Great Success
There are many people to thank for this, but three people stand out. The event would not have been a success without the work of the chairman, Eric Bogatin, and this considering he was in the middle of moving his household to Colorado. The second person is Gary Pittman, the co-chairman and registrar. Taking care of the flow of people and money is not an easy task. The final person, but not least, is Carroll Iorg, the A.L. President. He started the ball rolling and worked behind the scenes taking care of numerous problems.
