Hello, OCRA! I really enjoyed attending this year's convention. As the pictures will attest, a good time had by all. Head on over to my website and have a look. www.timothymeinke.com, click on OCRA Convention Pictures are best viewed from a computer screen rather than a portable device. I have left the download function turned on for all my OCRA friends but if you see something you like, please consider buying a print or two from the Phanfare web host. Tim |
