Harry, the only person in this newsgroup who ever felt seriously
threatened by anyone was you and you called the police. I think it was
twice (two different people) and I have a hazy memory about you
contacting the FBI about one of them.

You aren't about to punch anyone in the nose.


I drove right through Huntingtown and I couldn't get Harry to meet me
for a beer or a cup of coffee. I spent 3 days in the area.




The day you suggested I was busy.

Seems to be a habit with you. Here's a blast from the past ... 1994 or
1995 or so. You announced you were traveling to Boston for some purpose
and asked if anyone could recommend a place to go fishing. I was new to
rec.boats then and offered to take you out fishing on the boat I had at
the time. In fact, Justan was going to join us. I made the offer to
you but suddenly you no longer had the time.

Then the famous encounter with Peggie Hall at the boat show. You
described her here, told us how you walked by the booth a couple of
times but never had the courage to go up to her and introduce yourself.
Can't blame you. Even back then she probably would have called security
based on the way you treated her here.

I've had the pleasure of meeting up with a few of the rec.boats
participants over the years. Obviously, I've known Justan for many
years and we've had a few beers back when we drank beer.
There was another guy ... Charlie ... who went by the handle
"Wavelength" also. He had a boat in the same marina.

I also met up with a guy who used to post here who lived in San Diego.
Mrs.E. and I were taking a trip out there for a friend's wedding and we
met up with the guy and his wife for dinner at a restaurant. Nice
couple. Can't remember his name. Again, this was many moons ago.






I don't remember that Boston possibility, and I don't think you do,
either. There was a long line of people waiting to meet up with Peggy at
the Annapolis show, and I didn't feel like waiting. I was busy the day
Fretwell was available; I'm not retired, and had other obligations.

These days, there's probably only one person I'd care to meet up
with...Nova Scotia Donnie. There used to be more, but they've
left...there was a Canadian boat dealer, a sailing boat guy from Philly,
and, of course, Larry from South Carolina. He was interesting and
bizarre...attributes I find appealing.

The rest of you, all righties, nah.

Ahhh Donnie. I'm sure he's dying to meet you as well.
Good old Larry. Wife and I had a nice visit with him at James
Island County Park.

I'm wondering why Donnie hasn't offered to have Harry come spend some quality time with him up there
in NS. You'd think Donnie would love having Harry's company for a couple weeks!

I couldn't imagine spending a couple hours on a boat with the guy.
