14 TH Anniversary

Just a little input here from a old chapter leader 14 years ago today we had our very first chapter meet , my family met several people that we are still friends with to this day . It was a little cool at Burns Park and the ladies kept huddling around the grill to stay warm.

Happy anniversary Arkansas! I just noticed this thread or I would have replied sooner, been on the forums all day. Fourteen years, got any idea how many Chapter Leaders there were in that time?

Good morning guys,

I wasn't around for that first meet, but I came around shortly afterwards..

Dave, you remember that tri-state meet we went to somewhere over in the northwest part of the state? That was a hoot.

Dave, Jim, Myself and two guys that haven't been on here in years were the 5 original members that founded this chapter. I've been on this board for 19+ plus years, I was a moderator of 5 different forums on this site for 14 of those years. Including this one.

I'm pretty burned out at this point. I don't have any forums that I'm a regular in. I check in here maybe 3-4 times a year the last couple. Or if I need help with a project. I just don't have the inclination to spend my limited amount of free time on message boards anymore. I found your PM "requiring" me to check in quite amusing. I'm not, nor will I be a regular.

That being said... All of my best friends I've met largely because of this chapter, and I'm all about face time. So if y'all end up putting a meet together I'd certainly be interested in attending. I love meeting new peeps and getting the opportunity to check out peoples trucks. I just don't have time to play on the internet.

Cheers!

I've been looking forward to you dropping in cookie. That message was intended to be tongue in cheek, I'll try a different font on the next one. I would have responded sooner but a friend was having electrical issues and in the middle of that the next town over got hit with a tornado. I'm home now and have more time to respond. I feel like I had a question or two for you but can't remember now what they were. If I remember what they are I'll write them down so I can ask you when you drop back in next quarter.

I spend so little time on the internet just playing anymore...... I'll happily answer anything I can, but it might be best to shoot me an email.

Or text me for that matter 5O1 8 three 7 two six 86
