Yes.  I seem to recall some outfit called the El Rancho Bar Association.
Something about an annual softball game that was supposed to be played the
year of the Toledo convention but somehow didn't happen.  I recall asking
either Larry Godwin or DEE about the ERBA shortly after I joined IRCA & was
told not to worry about them...they were quite harmless.  Didn't believe it
then...

73's

SC and living in suburban Columbia.

QRM:

In  Vancouver....1971 ???.....IRCA Convention........7 handed game of
Hearts....I remember well as I had all the high hearts + spade queen &
couldn't open........Would have washed down my tears
with a high ball but none available as it was sunday in Vancouver.  In those
days even the bellhop at the big hotel downtown wouldn't sell us anything
(we tried)...We even called the Russian
Embassy for some vodka...Set back relations by at least 10 years.....We were
finally saved by Father Jack Pejza sharing his 2 small bottles of Johnny
Walker Red (he had saved from the Airline)
with us.  We all converted to Catholicism on the spot........The original
Motlew Crew!  That was the trip that we had long haired hippie dxer Frank
Kennedy with us & stopped at a truckstop
outside of Meford for sustenance.  We barely escaped with our lives.  We
seriously considered offering Frank as a sacrifice but we noticed a small
opening & escaped.......Wish you guys wouldn't
bring back these old memories.....I'm a good boy now!?!
