Awe...
I've met some amazing websters, they are the kindest, most loving people in the country...

Ironically, some of the people that I have met via pm only have become some of my best friends. I feel I know them much better than some people I have actually met.

In keeping with the spirit of this thread and in no particular order:

JT
TPM
Innocent Bystander
Beezer
Bee> (where has Bee> been lately btw?)
Smokey
BigGuy
amishballfan
puma1

If someone has a dual HSBBW identity, do I count them as one person or two?

Does stalking count?

Sorry to say, I have met very few face to face. My short (but very important!) list:

TPM
Rob Kremer
CADad
Bordeaux

Hope to meet a few more in the future!

I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, but I've met;
Bee
Beezer
ClevelandDad
JohnLex7
Lafmom
Learningtocoach
Lhpx2
Luvbb
OldSlugger08
Yankeelover
I'm sure I've seen 04Parent at games?
And wish I could meet many more...

In person: PG Staff

Have seen in person, but not met: Alabama Bomber and BeenthereIL

I want to see PG's list.

I PG posts his list, Julie is going to have a twice as large bill for bandwidth.

He should just make the last post and type, "All of the above."

I knowI will miss some but here goes:

HSBBW
HiVol
Its IN The Game
Florida Fan
Sandman
Holden Caulfield
Boomer
Shepster
PG Staff
Bear
Coach Merc
Bama Bomber
lefty dad

jerseydad, you have the dubious distinction of being the only member I have met so far.
Unless you count standing behind Coach May in a Dunkin Donuts and not introducing myself. I thought it might be him and later confirmed that it was.

MnMom!!!!! I'm hurt to the quick!!!!
If she doesn't want to admit that we've met, then I guess I'll have to keep that our little secret, although we did meet in a rain storm on the day that the bridge in Minneapolis collapsed.....

I've also had the pleasure of spending some time with:

Boomer,
CentralIL,
DB2BMom,
FormerObserver,
lafmom,
P&CMom,
Smokey,
soxnole,
Still Learning,

Happily spoken on the phone with others....sometimes speak unhappily with gotwood4sale.....



Wish I could meet more! When you have plans to travel to the Chicago area, please let me know!

I would have a hard time making a list. As I think about it... It would be a very long list. Problem with listing names is that I would forget to mention some and there are others I've met who I wouldn't recognize them by their username. Sometimes parents user names make it difficult to remember exactly who their son is even though I remember there son very well.

I can say this... The majority of those I've met who are involved in this site are some of the best people I've ever met. I really mean that and others who have experienced this will agree with me.

We don't have to meet in person in order to like each other. Now, lets get back to fighting about something!

LOL!

It is true that the controversial threads where people take sides are often the most interesting

playbaseball,

No, No, go back and read my post again! I was waiting for the drumroll to finish before I added, as you will see...

...and saving the best for last... playbaseball!!!

Oh my goodness, I thought I had listed you earlier and can't believe I didn't! What could be more memorable than our dinner together the evening that the 35W bridge collapsed? Such a treat to meet you and talk to hubby GotWood by phone, even as history was unfolding a few miles away.

Julie

.

Did playbaseball ever tell you where we first met?

It seems to me that Rob Kremer is pretty much the Kevin Bacon of the HSBBW.

MN-Mom---

WHEW!!!!!! THANKS!!!!

I think the only one I've met in person is Rob Kremer.It does look like he's met eveybody else though.

I briefly met TR between games he was coaching. From the board Fillsfan and I realized we've exchanged lineup cards before. Our son's have played against each other a few times. I've talked to RZ on the phone.

Lots by PM, lots on the phone.

But I have had the honor, in addition to jerseydad so very recently, to meet only a few (but very important ones!):

Bob Howdieshell
FutureBackMom, the irreplaceable Mary Ann
Glove Man
Bighit
Dad04
Sark20

And, TPM, some infrequent poster from Atlanta

A couple by phone, but in person....

JohnLex7 and family which I knew pre HSBBW
TopDogFan and family which I knew pre HSBBW
Luvbb and son
lhpx2 and family
playbaseball and son
innocentbystander
bee
grateful
fungo and family
tasmit and family
bamabomber - almost!, son met him

Playbaseball - I just checked the route from Chicago to Chattanooga - Can only get there by going through Lexington!!

When I'm released and allowed to cross the WI border I'm going on a road trip to meet all my HSBBW friends.

.

We'll let you cross the border rz...





...we love our blue cheeseheads down here in Illinois!

You've got to be careful with any cheese made by ..... MAYTAG??

It's funny - there have to be a lot of folks who have met more fellow HSBBW folks than me. Here is my list:

JD'sDad
ILVBB
CADad
08Dad
Krakatoa
Spizzlepop
Deldad's wife (I am certain I got the better half)
No11
Justbaseball

I think that is it. This week AZDiamondDog and I are trying to connect, but no luck so far.

rz,
All that beautiful work and you couldn't find room for "HSBBW" somewhere? Before you get out ask Bubba to take care of that for you.
