    Yesterday i met Hotrodbob for the first time as he was up here for a conference in Toronto and he invited me to come see the setup of the building and what he does. I brought along my daughter and we did the tour which was fun and it was nice to put a face to the name. It was cool to meet you Bob and hope to meet again in the near future. (y)

    For some reason the first picture looks pretty nasty. Might be the models. But the second and third with the cute model are great.:biglaugh:J/K. Always nice to put a face and a voice behind the board name. Seems you can hear the tone of their voices now.:)

    I've also had the pleasure of meeting Bob Beck in person. After meeting him I was at a buddy of mines body shop and I picked up an old issue GoodGuys magazine he had laying around, and there were plenty of them laying there to pick from. Anyways, in the back was a full page bio of Bob. Bob that is the surprise I was going to share with you when I got the chance, even though you probably have a copy. Now I know what it must have been like for people to have met Elvis without knowing who he really was until after the fact. Terry, we have been in the presence of greatness and a great guy.:thumbs2::rofl2:
