Great luncheon meeting

On August second, I had the great pleasure of meeting @keets in person, along with his lovely companion. He was traveling through my area on vacation, and we met for an excellent lunch. The time literally flew by and we actually only mentioned coins once, for about a minute. We touched on many different topics and enjoyed a good lunch. Cheers, RickO

    He comes across as a fun person. Does he look like his photo?

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That is great. Glad you enjoyed your lunch. I have never met anyone from the forum, but of course I am a newer member. However I am definitely looking forward to it.

    If I were to judge RickO's occupation based on the two areas of the Country I know he's lived in, I would guess Lumberjack. B)

    I'm guessing the guy in the right is Keets.

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Looks like two of the guys I played poker with last night. Would have been hilarious if keets photo shopped ricko in as his pistol avatar. :D

    I'm guessing just the opposite.

    when we left RickO we headed first to Bethel, New York and then to Wyoming, Pennsylvania before driving south to Hershey, Pennsylvania where we spent the night. then we went to Hershey's Chocolate World where I took this picture.

    Ah, Hershey World. I gained 5 pounds just walking through the gift shop.

    I stopped there on the way out to a class in Philly. Picked up some virus from some little snot and got me sick for the two weeks I was out there.

    Do they still have that cheesy animatronics How-Chocolate-Is-Made show? :smiley:

    Brings back memories here too. First time I was in Hershey, PA they had tours in the actual factory. Now of course it is "Chocolate World." At least one thing remains the same - free samples.

    That's easy enough. Ricko is the one without the "toning/tarnish". :)

    Took kids and grandkids to Hershey this year, couldn't believe how expensive it was. I could have bought many of the things on my want list for what I spent on three days there (still wouldn't trade it though). :)

    PS...aren't those some scary looking dudes. lol

    if you get to the linked thread it is about maybe the ultimate "forum member" gathering I have attended. it was at the 2003 ANA Show held in Baltimore. another memorable gathering was at the Pittsburgh ANA, maybe in 2004-2005, that was held at the Church Brewery.
