TD. Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 The American Thompson Association is proud to announce the 23rd All Thompson Show and Shoot will be held at The Thompson Convention Center in Ohio on Friday, August 1st and Saturday, August 2nd, 2014. If you are an American Thompson Association (TATA) member, you know to make your hotel reservations now as this is a popular time and place in Ohio. TATA members who have never attended the Hill family Show & Shoot need to put this event on their bucket list. You will see and learn more about the Thompson submachine gun than you ever thought possible. And you will get to meet and talk with many of the "personalities" that post on this great forum. Display tables are free; show off your Thompson(s) and accessories.If you are not a TATA member now is an excellent time to join. For $30 you can join an organization international in scope, has fantastic members, receive four very informative newsletters, and attend the 2014 All Thompson Show & Shoot. It does not get any better than this for a Thompson enthusiast!Information about The American Thompson Association and an application form can be found at the following web address:http://www.nfatoys.com/tsmg/tata/Default.htmThe membership application is located on a link in the upper right hand corner. Feel free to review some of the past year's newsletters.Tom Davis, Jr.Past PresidentThe American Thompson Association Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD. Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 A quick bump to the top so no one will forget this Show & Shoot is just around the corner. It is still time to get in your registration information. You need to be a member of The American Thompson Association or a guest to attend. The link in the first post should take you to a site where everything is available to join/register. I will be glad to assist anyone with questions (send me a PM or leave a message on this thread). Arthur, my offer to include you on my registration form as a guest is still open. You can ask Tracie questions all day about his books and collection. Seriously, you would be welcome.

jim c 351 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Arthur, my offer to include you on my registration form as a guest is still open. You can ask Tracie questions all day about his books and collection. Seriously, you would be welcome. TD, Have you ever seen Arthur in person? I haven't. How about anyone else? I have often wondered if Arthur is actually Tracie Hill and the only reason he criticizes the Ultimate Thompson book is to get people to buy it. Just a theory.

TD. Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Jim C.,No, I don't know Arthur. He has decided to remain anonymous in this age of the Internet. When I first joined this Board I was curious; not so much anymore. However, I have enjoyed our banter on different topics. I believe most of the topics we have "discussed" offer some serious insight into questions that have not been fully answered or resolved. Often times I just take a position to spur on the discussion, never revealing what I believe. I am usually more evidence or documentation based in my positions. I do not think Arthur is Tracie Hill but respect your opinion. I do know The American Legend sold out and I believe sales of The Ultimate Thompson Book are very respectable given the niche subject matter and $150 price tag. I did speak to Tracie earlier this week and he told me that he is needing to receive a few more registration packets for the upcoming All American Thompson Show so he will have a proper head count to make the final arrangements. Yes, as a TATA member you can show up at the last minute and be admitted at the door but it really makes it difficult on the Hill family. If you are planning to go, I ask that you get your registration packet in the mail to Tracie this week. As a past president of TATA, I will be glad to help any first time attendees or anyone with a problem. Leave a post or send me a PM. My offer to Arthur remains open!

Sandman1957 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Gents, Wish I could be there, this is on my bucket list. I want to shake everyone's hand. My daughter Megan is turning 20, and this is her birthday weekend. Following that she is heading back to out of state college, and as some of you know, I have missed way too many events in her life. Please hold a toast to "Sandman" in respect for all those he has served with, and all those who through all the challenges our Nation has faced. You guys remain my inspiration and I am glad to be one of your aquaintances. Regards to all. (Megan is on the left)Semper Fi,Steve DaughtridgeUSMC Retired.

Devil Dog 1110 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 SteveI also have this event on my "to do list".I have met some mighty nice folks on this board that I hope to meet in person one day- including you.No doubt you are making the right decision by staying home with you daughter and the rest of the family.I remember they used to tell us " If the Marines had wanted you to have a family they would have issued you one"- that was something my wife never quite agreed with!Anyway- have fun you guys!
