    The last OptiBoarder I met in person was Judy Canty leaving VEE 2002; we shared a cab on our way out of the Javits Center.

    Billy Brock at VEW-he is younger than I thought he would be (and very handsome). For some reason I thought he would be older :bbg:-must be all those years I have been hearing his name! I so love that Texas charm! I tried to meet harry but couldn't get him to make eye contact with me.

    Karen, I'm curious too!!

    The last Optiboarder I met was my partner Jo, with whom I had corresponed almost on a daily basis, for a couple of years. We met at the Live Eyewear booth for the Optiboard get together.
    I was finally able to put a face to the name after just missing her the previous year.

    Mikey-glad you met Sean.

    I am going to be brokenhearted if Karen says it was me!

    If it was you, it wouldn't be the first time an OptiBoarder walked right passed you. :D

    If you had only bought a t-shirt........

    from me while I was manning the Childrens Vision Coalition booth, we would have met a whole year earlier. :D

    You!! To be fair you were having a conversation with someone (It might have been Jim G, I can't remember) I saw your name tag and thought "cool, I can meet harry in person" and kept looking at you (actually it was more like staring:bbg: )but you didn't look back. So being 4 months preganant at the time I decided to assume you didn't want to meet me and comforted myself with talking to Pete about the recall :hammer: Shortly after I had another mood swing, ate a quarter pounder with cheese and felt better. Have you noticed that pregnant ladies can be slightly insane??

    I didn't actually meet him in person......

    but I did speak with Clive Noble by phone last night. He is staying in Wellfleet over the weekend but alas is leaving first thing tomorrow AM. I am due at a OAM meeting and we unfortunately can't meet in person. I am reminded of the saying "So close and yet so Far". We did have a good conversation however, and he promised to return to the Cape so hopefully I will be able to write someday that I have met him in person.

    Gee whiz Pete there were more optiboard people at the Ft. L. show and I didn't see any of you? I did see John from Tr-city at the show and did see tons of other people, reps and such but no optiboarders...and here I was wondering about the show just poking around..I was half tempted to walk across the garage and hop a cruise ship..:)
    Was it me or did it seem like it was not packed as previous shows? ...I'm thinking of going to the OLA in Orlando as well maybe I'll see more optiboarders there...
