I came on the original board here about post #500. Russ said he showed up around post #200. In any event, Russ was arguing with some NID lover when I got here about the "plainness" (my word, not his) of the Ithaca family. I swear remembering him describing them as butt-ugly but Russ later denied this, saying he would never say this. He blamed this phrase on me and my BUNID and BU-21 comments. I admit to these. I sure miss the ol curmudgeon.
The bottom line is that if you read this forum religiously for two years, you will become extremely well versed in the world of doubles. We have lost some great guys like Russ & Bill but ol David Trevallion is here and a few more of these new kids come here to play now and then. David has some promiss.
