    Creeker Gathering - Pre-gloat NOW A GLOAT!

    I'm in Waukesha, WI for 2 weeks of training. This evening after class I'm driving to Central Illinois to spend Saturday with my MIL. Sunday on my way back, we are having a mini-Creeker gathering with Karl Laustrup, John Miliunas and myself having lunch and a bs session in Madison.

    Nearly 5 years ago, I joined the Creek. Finally, I'll get to meet the Creek's own "I LOVE WATER PARKS" Laustrup and Spring! What a treat this is going to be.

    Anyone else in the area interested, contact Karl here via PM or email. We'd be glad to have you join us.

    Ken - sure sounds like it is going to be fun! Make sure you get some photos taken of the event........ and if you can, photoshop out the words 'People's Exhibit A' before posting!

    Pesh was on my mind this morning.

    It still amazes me. Never met John, Karl, you, Pesh, Clabo, Singer, Clardy, John Hart, Hoyt, Keith, Jackie, Aaron, Dave Anderson, and many others.....and yet I feel like I've known you for ever. The Creek is, indeed, a special place with atmosphere that promotes friendship.

    I'll hoist one in Pesh's memory. I surely miss his intelligent, self-degrading humor and his wise council.

    Steve....the photos are already posted at your local post office. The WANTED across the top of the photo is correct. The other stuff has yet to be proven in a court of law.

    I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.

    Yes for sure. Host one for Pesh for me while your at it. [I don't drink]
    Someday I'll hopefully meet ol' Pesh

    Tell Karl to not get to rowdy while yer at it. I think he's a character in disguise that hopefully I'll meet one of these days if I ever get up that way.

    Clardy, I shall be on my best behavior. Wouldn't want to give Ken the wrong impression. Spring already knows what a great individual I am.

    We will most assuredly toast "Pesh". And I will hold you to a meet and greet if you get up this way. You are on my loong short list of people I'd like to meet, for one reason or another.

    Karl
    Creeker Visits. They're the best.

    Yea, those two are good at toasting, so in addition to Pesh, you'll have to come up with a substantial list to toast to! LOL
