20-October-2003

When this thread was posted back in October 18, I made a mental note to post on my 15th anniversary, which of course Came and went (January 8, 2004) and I forgot all about it. So I am doing it now.

So I joined 1/8/04. This was my first post.

I had forgotten. I thought this was my first post.

I didn't post again until august, when I had changed my name to "75 Tique", an unfortunate error since it was early CCF days and I had no idea there was no such thing as a 75 tique, but that's what was on the title, so what did I know.

Since then, a few good memories,

-Finding and bringing home my Tique from Wolfboro NH



(Originally went to look at this Al Tyll, but came home with the Tique)



-Meeting my first CCF friend to ski - Ken Spurling
-Multiple ski outings in MA with Brad, Ken, Keith, Tim
-Gatherings at Sokokis, Northwood, Lake George, Tim's
-Beers with Brian Hall and Brian Mullin in Boston
-Skiing with Dip and Brian Mullin on my home lake in MA
-Much technical support from Tim, Joe, Pete, KenO, BoatDr.
-Gatherings at White Lake
-Periodic trips and one formal gathering at Reids, plus one trip over to meet Skutsch and hang out with him and Steve K and Reid.
-Meeting Marty Mabe
-A cold October outing on my lake with Reid and Adam
-Finally meeting my old school comrade, JBear before a white lake gathering when he, Bill and the Monohans dropped by Seven Lakes
-And subsequent Double BF runs with John just about every time we've met up since.
-Other Double runs with Brad, Tim, Joe, Greg, Scott, Uncle Todd, Adam, Hollywood, there must be others
-Hollywood coming to Seven Lakes for a couple outings
-At this point, almost countless LLBD training outings with Greg at Badin
-All 4 Badin Fest Gatherings, to date.
-Getting talked into NYD Barefoot tourney (2x)
-Keno's and David's generous contributions to my causes.

And many more memorable times.

Yup, its been a pretty good run, looking forward to another 15 years.
