Wow I did, Skip?  yeah, I knew there were in town I went by to see if there were still there or not and Bush left but this one broke down, licky for me.  I walked out over near them (using 100-400, then the 24-105) but did not get that close to sw anyone.  I stay near Robinsons hanger and was talking with one of the employees that was there and he was showing me his autographes from Bush. Governator and Harman.  Never approached them to ask anything and they were on there  own.   I had posted pics before but were lost online with the last server issue.
