Birthday. Sue wouldn't tell us how old she is, but we
know she's between Six and Sixty.

The blast off of the Columbia Space Shuttle, Sue
Mihelich's "Sweet Sixteen" Birthday and the First
Pennsylvania Gambling and Coin Op Show and Sale in

The Coin Op Show, hosted at the Master Host Inn,
drew collectors, dealers and visitors from Massachu
setts, Connecticut, New York City and State, New
Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. They
viewed, played fondled and hugged some of the re

erns, AMIs, Mills, Gottliebs, Oaks, Rock Olas, Buckleys,
Maslans, Seeburgs, Cailles, Williams, Jennings, Vic

$120,000. When interviewed, all dealers were pleased
with the show and expressed an interest to do another
show near the Philadelphia area in the fall.
