Monterey 2009
Following on the success of 2007's San Francisco Meeting, West Coast collectors met on Saturday, October 10, 2009, at Monterey's Maritime Museum for their second formal meeting and the first to be held under the sponsorship of the SMSC. The model show was held in the atrium lobby of the Museum and was followed the next day by an open house at Paul Jacobs' home in Saratoga.
