Moderators dtel Posted November 12, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 12, 2006 I was thinking of HornEd the other day, He had just got married and was not doing to well, hope he is ok . Had looked up his resort and it was really nice, a little wild but nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 I missed being a real old guy, joining in November of 1999. I had just gotten a dial up connection through IIT (old, alma mater) for 30 buck a year. I lurked for while, peering into the wonders of the Internet. It was a bit of a lash-up. Little old me huddled over a hand-me-down lap top, dealing with cranky software, in the dark of Chicago winter. (Pause for drama.) The gargling parrot sound on the modem. (Pause again for drama.) Then a connect. Wow. (Smile.) It is interesting to think about those who are no longer here. What happend to HornEd? FilmoFreddy put up the Audio review of the K-Horn, early on. Tony R, as I recall, set up the first Pilgrimage. It was hush-hush and the arrangements were not on the open forum. Everything by e-mail. Thanks again Tony. Gil Tony is definitely a great guy. Interesting on the first pilgrimmage. He set up the additional (supplemental) Arkansas gatherings... one at my house and one in Hope... kind of a force behind the scenes. Seeing the pics from that first gathering in the living room of Paul and Valerie... I think, wow.... what a memory that must be. A couple of years ago Tony did take me to meet Miss Valerie and I got to sit in Mr. Paul's leather wingback chair and listen to his three channel system. Driving back to LR I felt like I'd been standing on holy ground. When Tony is not working, he spends his time, alot of time, being a great dad to his daughter.

Moderators dtel's wife Posted November 13, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks to all of you guys that "started and stayed" with the forum. You made it a better place for all of us. I honestly do not think I have ever known a group of people that touched our lives as much as you folks on the forum do. It is truly a pleasure to "talk" with you guys on a regular basis. BTW, thanks for the laughs.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Klappenberger Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Guys, I just check my stats. I just made the club under the wire. I "enlisted" 12/31/1999. I thought it was Jan 2000. DAH, NEAT! How come I'm not on your list , John? Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted November 13, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 13, 2006 I saw that you were right on the cusp there, Al, but according to my database, you were the New Year baby at 1/1/2000. You're definitely appreciated too!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
