I enjoyed listening to your stories more than just about anything I have heard at any FReep and/or meet I've been to thus far. I would be interested in a "history from my viewpoint" posting about your experiences, especially the time you spent in Iran.

Great meeting you!

Personal experiences are the nectar of any roundtable (no pun intended, since we WERE at a large, round table) discussion, and I love hearing "war stories" as much or more than I love telling 'em!

I liked hearing Hocndoc's optimism, Rikastrom's anecdotes, Petroni-DE's stories, etc., etc., and I'm a tad frustrated that my rotten hearing kept me from picking up much from folks any farther away (Gracey, slyfox and MS antifeminazi almost had to shout for me to hear them from across the big round table - LOL!).

What I really liked was the chance to get the context of what was being said - via e-mail or posting, one has not the chance to ask for clarification or peripheral data. It was simply outstanding! Coulda handled another several hours if time had permitted all around!

Roger "great meeting" EVERYONE, and hope to be able to sit down with you sometime in the not-to-distant future, SWake, to kick around specific "warstories" of choice - SMILE!

The old saying "...and a great time was had by all!" comes to mind!!

Ditto those comments. Yes, we MUST have a "reparte" with you and your wife present. I found you both to be very fine, interesting FReepers. And... Thanks for serving our country. :-)
