Next time you run into him, ask him about Johnny Carson....pull & flare,lisa"Try not. Do or do not. There is no try." - Yoda sez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchboy 0 #4 June 17, 2002 I met Bob at Quincy last summer. He is a really cool guy. I thought it was interesting that people keep giving him gear, but he said he prefers his Dolphin container.The DutchboyPhil's Flying Enterprises, Inc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #5 June 17, 2002 Bob is awesome-I tried setting him and my grandmother up, but they just didn't click. Oh well. He is definately a nifty guy who, get this, said I don't write enough in my log book (while everyone else calls me a geek for writing too much!) Yeah, and that van is cool!You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
