INVASION OF LOUISVILLE TAPE

  The planned Pittsburgh excursion brings to mind the famed
  "Invasion of Louisville."   Coincidentally,  Darryl Atchison
  writes: "I was reading in an issue of Out On A Limb recently
  that Armand Champa had a VHS Tape made of the "Invasion
  of Louisville" which was subsequently shown at one of the
  N.B.S. meetings.  Sorry I don't recall which year this was
  shown.

  I am hoping that one of our readers may have a copy of the
  tape that I could borrow.  I would really like to watch this
  tape.  If anyone can help me, please feel free to contact me
  at atchisondf at hotmail.com.    Thanks."

  [Bibliophile Armand Champa of Louisville, KY chartered
  a bus to bring a few dozen bibliophiles from the Cincinnati,
  OH convention of the American Numismatic Association
  (1988, I believe) to view his library in Louisville.  The event
  became known as "The Invasion of Louisville."   I was one
  of the lucky attendees, and it was quite a day.  Armand was
  never one to do things half-way.  He hired caterers and
  bartenders to dole out refreshments, and had a photographer
  and videographer on hand to record the proceedings.  Later,
  Armand treated everyone to dinner at one of his favorite
  restaurants.  The afternoon's video was shown after dinner.
  Would some of our readers who were present care to tell
  us their recollections of the event?  -Editor]
