Eric Noden had an unavoidable conflict.

Slim, as he has explained, had family matters and I believe that the same is the case of Smokey Joe Leone.

We hope to bring Warren back into the fold sooner rather than later.

Steve would rather be there than not, but circumstances don't presently allow for that.

Don't know about Tom.

I missed a few years myself in the early 2000s, largely for economic reasons.

The SPAH convention will still be great despite the absence of some of our favorite folks.

Steppin' on a plane tomorrow at 6AM (ouch). Hope to see many of you very soon.

Was it something I said???? 
I am really going to miss all of these guys as well as a few others who have let me know. I will love seeing everyone else though.

I don't like the sound of this. So far; for various reasons; we have 
Joe Leone, Steve Baker, Slim Heilpern, Warren Bee, Tom Albanese, and Eric 
Noden dropping out. These are convention stalwarts. 
On the positive side, I think I saw that the hotel rooms are sold out.
