[Randy Sohn]

Randy and I are all weather

Well, gotta tell'ya the truth, the Chevrolet is!

Roger Randy! My first adventure here and I can’t answer my status board. I just gotta feeling that once I figure this out nobody will remember I was a virgin on the forum. Until now! <happy grin>

"Loud & Clear", but anyhow, lookin' over there to the left, what's "public guest" supposed to mean?

best, randy

It means Mr. Broome isn't a member of Avsig but is commenting in a section that is visible to the public and doesn't required Avsig membership.

Na, the wisdom proffered vs abuse disseminated ratio is very favorable here. Furthermore what little abuse there is, is of such a high caliber <g>

[Tom Charlton]

Chuckle, why? So you too can be hollered at and be abused? <g>

Mr. Schiff was kind enough to send this old missive of his over our transom recently. In it he speaks of modems and connect fees and "talking on a computer." There may also be instructions in there for parity, bauds, and hand-cranking the forum motor starter.

Wow! Thanks for that! Despite being mentioned, this is the first I know of that article. Brought back lots of memories.

Not the least of which was Barry’s (or should I say “m”) trials and tribulations of getting onto the forum.

<sigh!!> Lots of REALLY fond memories. Ask Barry about garlic bagels on his NY layovers. <G>

Thanks for that old article about the AVSIG forum. I never knew about that historic meeting at ORD decades ago by AVSIGers. I guess our Duluth 2 (plus) day meetings keep up the tradition.

Hmm, I',m still on compuserve-long since taken over by AOL and perhaps even a later buyout. Likely some AVSIGers at BP's today as well as Randy and myself. Bad thunderstorms may cut down on the VFR attendees. Randy and I are all weather (well I don't do snow much anymore).

Regards,

Dux

What ever happened to Orville E. Fudpucker.

Chuckle, some things are prolly best left untouched, like Mike said above, mysterious! Since John Scafhausen and I sorta lost touch, also lost track of Orville.

My gut feel was late 1980's up to 1990.
