   Agreeed. :-) I run some x-wing tournaments from time to time and I strive   
   to foster a FRIENDLY attitude and experience for EVERYONE and 99% of the   
   people appreciate it. :-)   
      
   One of these days I'll get to a tourney in Little Rock...

   Not sure. I definately had never met him, but when my wife was in   
   the hospital in 2017 I was alone on the road a lot, so I was hitting   
   the repeaters down there and would check into a simplex net. Might   
   have talked to him then...

   LOL - another good one. :-)

   Not me! LOL Went golfing ONCE with my brother years ago and my first   
   thought after 9 holes was, 'we've been out here HOW long!?!?'
