Check out the scruffy band of miscreants in the photo from the last Hosstraders at Deerfield in October 1992 on the second page.  We were a lot leaner and meaner back then, weren't we?

"We'll see you at Deerfield!"  After seven years of hosting the NEAR-Fest it still feels justgreat to be able to say that again!  The magic and wonder is still there!  Come join us.
