Jamie and the CR Group; I've already received atleast ten emails this morning in support of a new show. Thank you and I'll keep in touch.

In response to Jamie's inquiry. I was the founder of the Larz Anderson event. At the time Michael was doing a Concour and swap from his Bicycle Classics shop in Needham, Mass. I knew Michael at the time and had been to his show a few times. Since I was thinking of organizing a show, but had not done so before, Michael was asked by myself to be a partner in the organizing of the event. Before this, I had already presented the idea of a cycle show to Dawn Meldrum, lawn Event Manager at the Museum of Transportation. After a few meetings the MOT warmly received the concept and offerred to host a show. Michael's full time involvement only lasted a few years, as he moved to Colorado. But Michael continued to help out and support the show for the next few years, and has always been present at the show, even though he had to travel from Colorado. Michael is currently the organizer of the show, as I was burned out after the 5th year and Michael graciously offered to run the event in its 6th year in 2002.
