ORIGINAL: USSAmerica I have to say I'm a pretty lucky guy. In addition to finding my perfect match and actually getting her to say "Yes" to marrying me, I have managed to meet (by my best count) 7 different Thread Brothers and 2 additional forum members in person over the years. Every one of them has been a pleasure to raise a glass with. Now, plans are in the works to add another Thread Brother to my in person collection next month. I'm quite looking forward to it! BTW, my "collection" is no where near as nefarious as Chickenboy's "collection" of ex-PBEM opponents, but I have managed to survive a PBEM match with him and multiple in person meetings. As am I. As of yet I've met two, and that reminds me, again, I need to call Will. Seth and I had lunch, again, about two weeks ago. I've had the privilege of meeting only one forum member in person. Mogami, for those of you really old farts from the old WitP days. Interesting story. He had 15 years active military service and got out. I convinced him to join the Ohio Guard to at least finish up part time so he could get a retirement at 60 yrs old. I had the privilege of swearing him back in. He ultimately served 5+ years active and has since retired. That was pretty cool. I remember reading about all of that when it happened. Dang, I guess I really am an old fart.
