Well, I'm glad all you "Renegades" had a good time with this. I too have known Landis for a lot of years and consider him a friend. Unfortunately, I was hoping someone who actually knows something on this topic would step up to the plate and answer the question.

If the ball has been dropped here, whoever on the board that is supposed to step up and get those buckles ordered has about two and a half months before the summer show. If they aren't ordered soon Spec-Cast won't be able to get them done in time. I have dealt with them in the past and they aren't always easy to work with.

Maybe one of you "Renegades" would like to step up and try to fill Landis' shoes and volunteer to be the Promotions &amp; Publicity Director. That's right that probably won't happen. You all are the ones who just know how to complain and whine never doing anything for the good of the organization.

As I said earlier and in my original post, all I want is someone from the board who knows something to address the belt buckle issue. I would even be glad to hear what Andy knows about this. 

I didn't become a member till 1996 and it took some effort to get some of the early buckles so my collection would be complete. I collected them because I love Olivers &amp; Hart-Parrs, but I also hoped they would hold or gain in value. If the HPOCA discontinues them, they will probably drop like a rock in value like Two-Cylinder Club toy John Deere tractors.
