hey cal.... had spoke briefly with Paul Hines and joined the Empire State Oliver Collectors a few months ago but havent made a meeting yet,am planning on this weekend.We discussed establishing an eastern chapter under them,rotating meetings(one we go west,the next they come east )etc.,They seemed to be very enthusiastic and it would be somewhere here in my area....but thats all it was was quick chat will get all info this weekend and certainly have you or anybody else join in.We have four or five guys here that are anxious to do something and I am sure as we know more there will be lots more...I will find out this Sunday and will keep you informed...
