Ken, The guy you talked to sounds a lot like BG hisself. One of his favorite pastimes at those trade shows is to impersonate anybody but him. I have impersonated him myself by trading eyeglasses and schmoozing potential customers while BG stood in the background looking stupid. Some people also thought we were brothers with the same mother, different fathers. BG is easily amused at boring trade shows, so if you find yourself talking to a cranky machinist with a penchant for bullshit who says he's not Bruce Gordon, it's probably him!
