Anybody else get the mail today????

Hey everyone,

I don't want to rain on the parade of everyone's good memories, but I received in the mail today a notice for the annual shareholders meeting. Included in it, is a proxy voting card. They are officially looking to dissovle and liquidate assets. I haven't looked into in depth, but looks kinda like Handleman will be officially gone. It does look like Crave and REPS will continue. I don't know if anyone else has kept up or still has any shares left, but thought that some of you would like to know. Me, personally, this saddens me, because it's like loosing my "Handleman Family" all over again. I hope everyone is doing well and look forward to hearing and/or seeing all of you again!!!! Blessings and best wishes to all!!!!!

And what a great time it was!!

About 30 ex-Handleman folks converged on Doug and Barb Kuennen's backyard for a great get-together on August 23rd. I'm afraid to name names because I know I'll probably forget someone - but we did miss those of you who weren't able to make it (THIS YEAR!). We are seriously planning another "UN-Sales Meeting" - probably late August again next year. We'll pick a weekend and a location (Vegas is top of the list right now) and do some serious catching up! So keep that in the back of your mind - I know that no one location or date will be perfect for everyone, but we hope we'll see even more familiar faces next year.

On to the pictures from this year...before you look at these, a disclaimer. I DID edit a few of them - I know not everyone would want a picture of themselves picking their nose up on the internet!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the show...
