BREAKING NEWS: OVMS takes over MAX Show

In 1984, the soon-to-be MAX Show Promoters, LTC (Ret) Thomas M. Johnson and Thomas T. Wittmann meet at the fabled Great Western Show in the L. A. Fair Grounds and point to the contract they have signed with the St Louis Chase Park Plaza Hotel to conduct the first MAX Show to be held in the ballroom of the hotel in the fall of 1985. The location was perfect, as it was in the center of the country. The hotel was glad to have the business, and exchange for 100% filling the rooms in the hotel, the two large ballrooms were given gratis to MAX. The rest is militaria history.
