What a year for me! Actually getting to meet members of the forum who I like and respect! (except for Peck, of course).
So far, every person I've met from the forum is gregarious, extremely social and yet introspective; all at the same time. Qualities that I greatly admire.
Al, great meeting and speaking with you and hope to see you at more meetings. Your knowledge of pipes and tobaccos is invaluable to me.
the only meetings I've made are their summer picnics,
Les, I can't make the summer bbq's in Jersey, busy on all weekends with something or other.
Maybe you'll wander into a meeting in the city one some random 2nd Tuesday of the month for the meeting. Hey, as far as traffic is concerned, I come from the Bronx and go home to Northern Westchester!
