Title: My VISITOR ! ! !
Post by: GrayBeard on September 28, 2010, 10:49:14 pm

On Monday afternoon the sun was shining in my humble garage/shop and suddensly the light became even brighter as yyyyguy strolled in for a visit!

All the way from the Wisconsin wilds Pete came to visit me. Well actually he was visiting his daughter and she only lives a short distance from my place so we communicated and he took time from his family to come for a visit.

We sat on my stools, talked shop and life in general, hoisted a brew and had a good ol' time.

We see photos of members but there is nothing like a face to face meeting to cement the bond between fellow hobbyists!

I hope you all have the experience at some time.

Hey GB, Sounds like a fun time! But I'm a bit disappointed you didn't post any pictures! I don't think anybody knows what Wiseguy looks like! :(

That is really fantastic when something like that happens.  Maybe it will catch on.  Would love to meet some of the other enthusiasts in real life.  I have not had the opportunity yet to attend one of the scroll saw conventions, but maybe when I do, I can meet a bunch.  Dan

I had planned to take a pic and we spent so much time conversing and having a good visit it totally slipped my ancient mind until he was already gone. Sorry.

He was leaving the next morning for Florida and i told him to contact Russ and see if they could hook up. Don't know if he was able to make the connection...
