My first NTA was 1982.
First FTA was 2004.

Up for the morning folks.

My first NTA was at Scribner Ne in 77. Made all in a row up to 88, then made 18 scattered around after that.

Have made it to fifeteen FTA's.

This year will be number 31 of NTA conventions and number sixteen of the Fur Takers. Seen a lot of this big country!

Thanks

My first FTA was Union City, TN 1982....First NTA was little Rock, AR in 1990.

Since then FTA - Dubuque, Iowa 1991....Bartlesville - Dewey, OK 1993.

NTA - Pecatonica, IL 2017.

Not going to make either nationals this year, as they are both to far to drive...Hope the NTA is indeed in Springfield, MO in 2019 as that location is within range.
