Joey P. filled us in on the early history of GAPAS:<\/p>\n
“Best as I recall , 2002 was pretty much the start. I had a list of phone numbers and email addresses for about 25 Pinball collectors in Atlanta , with the help of John Latimer GAPAS was born . John designed the original logo, and put the site up. The first GAPAS event was in my house in 2002 and pictures are still up on the GAPAS web site . It\u2019s been running a long time, and thanks goes to Al and Paul for picking it up and keeping it alive and well . Imagine having to call 50+ people looking for a used pf glass or specified game you want to buy.”<\/p>\n
