OK, Sally said no matter what, she will do whatever it takes to make it to the get together . . . .and that might mean borrowing someone's couch or recliner for her normal "afternoon siesta" . . .
So if Gnarly can't make it up to Ohio or over to Tenn., or parts in between, then here's my opinion, and I repeat, it is strictly my opinion. Please don't take offense, I don't want to step on any toes, hurt anybody's feelings, but this is how I was raised. This forum is waaaaaay past just being a "forum" . . . It's more like an adopted family of brothes and sisters scattered all over parts of God's green earth. And in my family when we plan something, we plan it so EVERYONE can make it . . . . I would not feel right having the "First Annual BA/KFU Get Together" if one of the first "brothers" could not make it. It just wouldn't seem right. Maybe I'm wrong, sure have been a few times in 59 years, but this is a "family" and a family works things out . . . . and besides, I have a feeling that "Gnarly" is not as gnarly as he pretends to be with his carefully worded posts and his 4th grade vocabulary . . . . and I want to see for myself . . .

So let's get this thing planned before we need hand warmers and parkas and the damn grill work light because the propane gas is froze solid. Gnarly, you are a brother to us all buddy, and to me, it just wouldn't be the same without you there . . . . :thumbup:
Sorry if I offended anyone with this, sorry if it comes off as a selfish gesture, or if it sounds like if I can not be quarterback I am going to take my football and go home . . . . . it's just the way I was raised, and I think for the very first one, we
ALL need to be there to raise one to BA & to KFU for what they have accomplished with this forum is such a short time . . . .
Be safe.
