I think this was the ANA Charlotte 2007 show. Can some of the newer members match a face with a name? Not all members in the photo are active forum members.

Back row:
lordmarcovan (Rob), rhound1977 (Glenn), spinnaker (Terry), Chris from Sentry Coins?, mongoose (Joe)

front row: Rob's wife holding Victoria, wife and ajaan, aethelred with late wife.

LordMarcovan, wife and daughter Victoria, (don't know the 4 gentlemen in the back), ajaan and wife, Aethelred and his wife (who passed away).

I see Rob top left! He's an easy one to spot

(seen his avatar?)

That was a fun show and if I recall it was the last time The Darkside "Old Guard" got together.

A lively bunch... great to see the picture. Unfortunately, I still have yet to meet most everyone in the picture

The glowing, demonic eyes give me away wherever I go.

I remember that one being taken. That was actually the last big national show I attended.

Good grief, look at Victoria. She's a teenager now. Tempus fugit.

OK, here. Compare the little girl at bottom left with the next, more recent picture.

LochNESS · November 17, 2014 3:10PM

Demonic eyes are suitable for an "old guard" aka "original gangsta' darksider

I could have done what you asked, but I didn't want to embarrass you. That's why I left it unanswered the first time around.

I couldn't recognize him without the hat.

Yeah you got them all right, yep just to mess with you guys, I can still log in, years later, hope all are well. Chris Maniscalco (Sentry Box Coins).

Hi, Chris?

(Glenn?)

Welcome back! Here, brush that cobweb off your shoulder, there. You smell faintly of mothballs.

Nowadays you'd say, "I couldn't recognize him without the fat" , though I was well on my way to becoming a Zeppelin even then.

Crazy to think that was the last big show I ever attended. And I did not yet collect ancient coins. And how great Marcie Swoveland (Mrs. Aethelred) looked in her last years. (She had lost more weight even than I have subsequently found in the last eight years.)

But what most strikes me is still little Victoria. She's changed even more since the update photo I posted last year. At fourteen the winds of change blow hardest, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but I still am.

rhound1977 ?

rhound1977 · November 11, 2015 5:51AM

The kids grow up fast, and we just get older LoL....

This old fart hiking in Arizona back in August...... Link to scary picture

Gravity does strange things like cause your hair to fall out.

ajaan · November 11, 2015 5:54AM

Glenn, what's you up to now?

rhound1977 · November 11, 2015 5:58AM

Retired, living in Utah.... since April this year

Aethelred · November 11, 2015 9:22AM

Glenn? Rhound? Get out!

How are you?

rhound1977 · November 11, 2015 11:00PM

Hey Michael I am well had not been on the forum in number of years amazingly log-in worked. Saw this post and thought I would let you all know I am still kicking but now in Southern Utah.

Hope all is well by you and others I have commiserated with over the past years.

asheland · November 12, 2015 1:06AM

Cool thread and picture!

nicholasz219 · November 13, 2015 8:24PM

Thanks for posting this Ajaan. It is nice to see some of the faces of the people I have talked to on and off for ten years. I wish spinaker still chatted. He was also one of my favorite people, like Rob, Aethelred and yourself.

Aethelred, I am sorry to know of the loss of your wife. She looks like a lovely woman with kind eyes and smile. To me, always a wonderful and attractive thing in a person. Must have been a yeti period.

Also, it looks like rhound went full yeti and made it to Southern Utah.
