Northwest Annual Meeting of the HSCA

Northwest Annual Regional Meeting of the High Standard Collectors Association

 

The meeting was held August 13th and 14th 2022, in conjunction with the Oregon Arms Collectors Association annual two day show.  The show was held at the new Wing Span Event Center, in Hillsboro, Oregon, across the highway from the regional Hillsboro Airport.  The new facility is first class in every aspect together with exceptionally great lighting.  The spatial arrangement and size are comparable to the KC facility, but at Wing Span, everything is brand new.  This is the space we are negotiating with the OACA for the 2024 Annual meeting of the HSCA. 

There were four displayers:  Greg Markel of Bremerton, Washington, displayed his almost complete set of Olympic Pistols;  Garry Hooper of Montague, California, displayed his broad collection of High Standard Automatics;  Smokey Grant of Sweet Home, Oregon, displayed hard to find Derringers and Special Wood Cased Western Revolvers;  Jerry Watson of Salem, Oregon, displayed his collection of Victors. 

Other HSCA Members who attended were:  Chris Albright of  Junction City, Oregon, Dick & Marcy Klocko of Eugene, Oregon, and Jim Barta, a former member of Eugene, Oregon who had a sales table. 

Saturday evening we all adjourned to the local Appleby's Restaurant for libations and a Dinner Meeting.  Greg Markel, our resident Board Member, will be taking a number of suggestions to the next Board Meeting outlining ideas for improvements in operation.
