Well, I've met Sorcha, Katlaughing, Rex, Bert, Jed Marum, Bill Sables, Allan C, The Shambles, and a couple of others. In every case I have enjoyed the experience, and found the Mudcatters to be as interesting and personable in the flesh as they are on the forum. Who would I like to meet? Catspaw, who did call me on the phone once. I think I said "Spaw, you old son of a bitch!" when he told me who it was, which only temporarily left him at a loss for words. Peter T, Jenellen, and Amos, who co-wrote some of the Mudcat fiction with me. Neil Lowe, who disappeared some time back, but was definitely a kindred spirit. Art Theime, who along with Sandy and Caroline, adds some authenticity to this place. Big Mick, to see if he wears his heart on his sleeve in real life the way he does here. mMario too.

Like many, I regret that Rick and I never met. I always thought we would. He was kind, funny and helpful, and he is badly missed.
