    You we're lucky!

    We lived in a pot hole in the middle of the road. When our Dad got home he would thrash us to within an inch of our lives. For Breakfast we had broken Glass with A lump of Coal! :-D

    I see the site lay out looks different but some of the old names are still around. Not as much action as back years ago. Thought I would check in and say HI. Jerry

    Hey guys! Wonder if anyone remembers me? I've not logged on for a number of years, have gained an undergraduate and masters degree in that space of time and set up my own business which now consumes all my time. I see a lot of familiar names posting which is real nostalgic. Hope you're all well.

    Rav

    I see the Admins & Mod names are still the same. Some of us old timers still lurk but don't post much anymore. I retired from work 3 years ago, then last year got a call to come back as service manager again so I'm doing that part time. I get to set my own hours and days and if it snows too much I just work from home. I can manage service from my home computer if necessary. It keeps me awake and moving around. LOL

    There is no school like the old school, and I am the head master :)

    The funniest/nicest thing happened last weekend when Ketola paged me that he was in town. We met 1st time F2F after all these years and had a really nice chat (past, present, future). That gave me the stupid idea of even resurrecting my old/original domain. Nobody prolly gives a damn, but at least I now have a place to write online, if I feel like it.

    Like all communities, people come and go! Most of the people I knew back in the day such as Praetor, seem to have faded from the scene.
