WOW...was it the Holbrook Costco? That's my hangout of Costcos here...what a neat story! Thanks for sharing!

I have no claim to fame. Maybe some day.

My daughter & her friend met Mike Love of Beach Boys fame in the elevator at our hotel. Both girls wore braces & he asked them about it. Seems his daughter was getting braces soon. We were in Springfield for the State Fair and to see the Beach Boys in concert.

I just read in the paper that Bob Seger is going on tour again. I wonder if he will be with the original Silver Bullet Band.
