heppnerguy Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 On Monday, I was in the Portland area and I made arrangement to have lunch with our illustrious leader, Travis. We spent about an hour together, getting to know each other and talking, yes you guessed it, scrolling. I thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity and found Travis to be as likable and cordial as I expected him to be. He told me one thing that really surprised me and that was; he said I was the only person that he had met personally from The Village. Hoping to see him again on my next Portland visit and I hope to convince him to come to our house with his family some time too.

I had you in mind as one of my stops this time but we had a crisis develop at home and had to come back early so i was not able to met with you this time. I even had your phone number in my pocket. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can make that happen. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 That was a lot of fun. I had a really great time and it was nice to put a face to a SSV member. Thanks for the lumber and great conversation! Since there's a few of us out this direction, maybe next summer we can plan an informal meetup for those of us in the northwest.

Wilson's Woodworking Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Heck, everyone in the US, Canada and Mexico can all meat in a central location. It doesn’t get much more central then Nebraska. Come on out and we can rent the Meadow Grove community center for a whole day for $15 and have a grand old time talking shop. It sounds like you two had a blast. I am with Marge thou, WHAT NO PICS. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
