A suprise call indeed!
Ed Harrow

Ken Hutchins

Plus a Special Surprise Guest.....

Margo Geer. :D

What a pleasant surprise. From the background noise sounds like the party is in full swing.

You folks be careful driving home. ;)

I'm not certain it was Margo. In my mind, her voice is more sultry. :D

[NormMessinger]

Kind of a nice treat, wasn't it!

[paladin]

[Dave Fleming]

Margo sounded to me like the ideal Southern Belle.

Yes, O&O Midwest, it was a most pleasant suprise!

I hate to sound uninformed, What is the Mystic EBS??

I'm relatively close (2 1/2 hours) to Mystic CT. Am I missing something I shouldn't be? smile.gif

Thanks,
Bob

Just got home about 45 minutes ago. I would have posted sooner but the bridge washed out again and I have been dealing with that. :(

I'm going to post these photos and let others make up the caption. I'm way to frazzled and tired to fill in the blanks.

Needless to say a great time was had by all.

[Bruce Taylor]

Had a little set back due to radiation pnuminosis, constant coughing, very short of breath, that sort of stuff. Beautiful spring weather and I can't get from easy chair to "reading room" without huffing and puffing. Med seems to be working. Oh well. This too shall pass.

[paladin]

yup..gettin old is hell.....I'm gonna hold out fer a Viking funeral......screw the kids inheritance........

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

So glad to hear you all had a wonderful time. smile.gif
Hope to see more of this in the future. ;)

Then emailing the photo from her phone to Scot Bell, Margo you are such a techie. I hope he is OK with you spelling EBS, ebs because you could not locate the shift key ;)

So lets book a bigger table for next year because all those who we called are obligated to come ;)

:cool:

[Dave Fleming]

Ed HarrowWhen did Ed's beard turn grey?

[Concordia..41]

We'll let Ed answer that one smile.gif

I'll get the camera unpacked and upload my pictures - only 2 or 3.

BTW - I made it home - cell phone with the other pictures is somewhere in TF Green airport :(

It was an absolutely amazing time with Ed and Ken, who I've had the pleasure of meeting before, and Joe, Lisa and Ross, who I hadn't.

To quote another southern bell..."As God is my witness," - paraphrasing now ... if there's anyone on this earth funnier than Joe (****), I'd be amazed!

I laughed, and I laughed, and I'm still laughing. What a great time with a great bunch of folks (in person and via phone)!

And what a great tradition of "Let's-Call-All-the WBForumites-on-Ed Harrow's-PDA-and-Pass-the-Phone-Around-the-Table" has been started :D :D :D

Last but not least, some poor slob, who has Gary Bergman's old number, is probably still sitting there wondering, "Who is the Hell are Ed Harrow, Margo Geer Concordia 41, Joe Cold Spring On Hudson, Ken Hutchins TALLY HO, Ross and Lisa S?????"

P.S. Not only does Cleek live - BUT WE CALLED HIM!!!! :eek: Nothing like a few drinks in a person to make them think - ah what the heck, let's call Cleek :rolleyes:
ROTF smile.gif

Yes a good time it was and it sure was nice talking to everyone on the phone. smile.gif A side note I went to the Defender warehouse sale, gosh what a mob of people and there was some good bargains.

[Concordia..41]

This is my only picture (other than camera/phone shots) - & did anyone catch Joe calling me a techie??? - that's the pot calling the kettle black if there ever was.... :D

My beard is gray (grey)? I hadn't noticed. tongue.gif
As to why such a thing may have occurred, well there's more than one possible reason, LOL.

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

Who cares what color it is Ed?
As long as it keeps growin...right? :D

[Matt J.]

Sorry I missed the call. Jenny and I were out to dinner ourselves. Braving the same storm it seems. The area is so low, that the Bay itself was flooding the parking lot of the restaurant between 4 and 12 inches (!). Jenny was worried if her car would even start (when we parked it was in 1 inch of water, but we'd driven through 8 or so)... by the time we got out of dinner, the exhaust was just starting to touch the water... yikes.

As far as the steakhouse: I can bet our prime rib was better'n yer steaks ;) .

Hopefully I'll be meeting many of you this summer; thanks for remembering me.

[RGM]

I sure got a nice suprise when I checked the messages on my work phone this morning (the 4th). Thank you one and all for the greetings from Mystic. Sure wish I could've been there. It would have been great to share some conversation and beer with you folks. And of course it is always fun to be able to attach a face to a name. Thanks alot, I really enjoyed it.

[Wild Dingo]

Get your phone photo's yet, Margo?

[Concordia..41]

Phone is allegedly in a Fed Ex box somewhere between Rhode Island and here...

[nedL]

Am I sorry I missed this EBS!! :( :( I really can't say I have an excuse considering I live only about 75 minutes away. I would have loved to see everyone there. Margo, I bet you won the 'longest distance traveled' award by far!
