MidAtlantic Nostalgia Continues



The recent MidAtlantic Nostalgia Convention just ended, and it was a miracle it happened at all amid Covid and the air conditioning broken.  Martin Grams and his hard working team put together a wonderful, responsible convention with most of the vendors selling TV and movies memorabilia and related items. Past and present celebs included Mary Badham (To Kill a Mockingbird), Parker Stevenson of The Hardy Boys, Kathy Garver from Family Affair, Mariel Hemingway (Manhattan), Barbara Carrera (Never Say Never Again), and more.. There were Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow from TVs Leave it to Beaver and Oscar and Emmy winning actor Louis Gossett Jr. I asked him if he trained in martial arts for his role in An Officer and Gentleman, and he said he studied it before the film. Nice guy too.




I picked up some stills and comics and was a happy camper. Helped daughter Laura with her booth of creative items too.  Looking forward to an even bigger event next year.
