Re: '08 Damfinos Convention Recollections
Great snapshot, Doc. Makes me want to head over there for a little R&R! As to HOSPITALITY, I just brought the print and discussed where it was found. Not much at all. It was actually Patty Tobias, David Pearson and David MacLeod who really did their homework. The presentations were fantastic and...

Re: Hey Paul G.
Hey Doc, Glad that you could join us! I had always intended to pen something about the Great Muskegon Adventure but never quite got around to it. I currently have several major commitments, not including the daily maintenance of this board, and do not see my schedule changing anytime in the near fut...
