TPM -- I offered to give him a "hug" for you, but he did not accept.
BOF - great seeing you, and spending time with you. BFS, Jr. was thrilled to hear first hand experience, and truly gained great perspective from you... the interest you took in him, and advice offered was very much appreciated.
You never know what you will find in person from only knowing a screen name, however in this case expectations were certainly exceeded!
BTW - was lucky enough to see BOF Jr. enter the game in relief, and was very impressed...great physical presence, and knows how to "PITCH".
