I've already met several dozen (including Kendall and Rick), and I wouldn't change one single bit of those experiences.

The ones I've never met and I regret very much I will never meet (at least in this lifetime) are LR Mole, and Little John Cameron. Mole especially.

But if I could choose only one to ever meet in person, I would have to choose my dear hubby, Jack the Sailor.

I've already met some of my favorite Mudcatters, including Mr Rick Fielding.

If I have to pick one I would like to meet...um...

I pick Amos. He's pretty cool.

And Spaw.

And Lonesome EJ.

And if I get out to Alberta, brucie.

And Doug R.

And if I hit Chicago, Martin Gibson, of course.

I also have a burning desire to meet Penelope Rutledge, even if she's not an official member. I would crawl naked through barbed wire for the privilege of kissing her lilywhite hand.

If you get the opportunity to make good on your feverish vow about barbed wire, give me some advance warning as I think I know a few people who would like to watch!

Bloody Bastard!!!

We set up a meeting for him to get me, through his "Taxi Service" over to the "Hoek von Holland Ferry" run by Stena.

I'm left having to get my bloomin arse over to Waterloo London and catch the Eruo....forfeiting my ferry fare.

May you rot in hell...you are no better than the "Black 47."

If I meet you .... face to face ....it will be a feint with the left and a round-house-hook with the right.....

Just fair warning....and I had Gerbil from the local store instead of a weak-assed-hamster.l

Sincerely,

It is obvious why the transient residents (the captive university populations) view Hull with such disdainful discord.

I always enjoy an occasion to visit with the Mudcat friends I already know, those from the Northwest--too many to name without missing someone. Don and Bob go back about as far as I can remember.

I'd like to meet my Secret Santees, since I did some research about them (MMario and Barbry) and my Secret Santas (Morticia and Rock Chick). (Thanks again, catsPHiddle, for doing all of that work for all of us!)

I think it would be a hoot to tip a few beers with Amos and Bill D. and Rapaire, and be able to pull up chairs for many others to meet the mainstays of the MOAB in person. CarolC and the Oz folks, and of course there would be special seating for Max and Pene Azul and Joe Offer. Gotta meet those folks one of these days! They make it all possible.

Just one person, you say? Well, it would probably be Amos. He seems like an amazing person.

I owe so many people here thanks because they have been friends. Picking one is impossible. I have learned from everyone who posted. Some people shine because of their characters which show clearly in what they write. Others for their determination to set even the smallest things right. Others for their straight-forward honesty. Others for the love they have for their peers. Others for their humour and wit. Others for their thoughtfulness. Others for their erudition. Others for their outrageousness. Others for their fury, and others for their gentleness.

When I look at this place and the people on it, I am reminded of the saying by Will Rogers. I simply wish it read person instead of man. It was the times. These are more of the times, and I feel so fortunate to share part of them with many wonderful folks on the 'cat. May your personal angels (BillD, I heard that, so I have asked that mine keep an eye on you, too) continue to watch over all of you.

LH: You are something else, man, and you are rightfully in fine and fitting company with the guys and gals who post to this place.

I was looking forward to meeting Rick on his proposed UK tour, which ,sadly, never took place, at least we talked on the 'phone.

Now, well, probably too many... ('Spaw, Max, kat, Amos...)but the meeting of the Washboard Sam of Ascot and the Charley Patton of Cleethorpes is long overdue, would put Stanley and Livingstone, Simon and Garfunkel, Laurel and Hardy into the shade!

I would like to meet just about everyone who has posted here. I hope one day I will. In Germany I'd like to meet Wolfgang and in Belgium Mooman. When I get to the UK the next time, I shall have to meet McGrath of Harlow - one of the wisest hearts ever to post here - along with Llanfranc, Countess Richard, Morticia, Jeannie, Greg Stephens, El Greko, Roger the Skiffler and many others. In the US, I have to meet In Obu, Joe Offer, Amos, khandu and Art Thieme, Kendall, Don Firth, Deckman, Frank Hamilton, Bobert, Big Mick, Jerry Rasmussen, Don Meixner, Robin 2, Katlaughing, Sorcha, Jeri, WYSIWYG and Jed Marum. In Canada I'd really like to meet Clinton Hammond and Little Hawk. I had the pleasure of meeting Marion last year - and I'd certainly drop in to say hello to her. In the next life maybe I'll get to have a beer with Rick Fielding.
Thanks to Mudcat, there are people all over the world who I dream of meeting.
