doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com OT - Who has been visiting here for 18 years ....

my...how time do fly...

I was here. Wonderful report, Mike. Hope you�re here a lot longer.

I think this might have been the first bulletin board I visited. Either that or maybe the old alloutdoors board. We've lost some good people, but it's still a great place. You can ask pretty darned obscure questions about doubles and be almost certain of getting an answer. Or, where it's a case of opinion vs fact, a bunch of answers.

I registered on this version of this board 12/31/2001, but I seem to remember an earlier version of the board that I was also a member on? Some of you old timers help me out here. Am I dreaming or was there an earlier version of this board? I have many fond memories of Der Klunkmeister, Dr. Gaddy, Bill Wise.....the list goes on - too far I might add. These I have named were the cornerstones of this board as far as I was concerned. I still miss their contributions.

Apologies for the delay in replying!
Away from my computer and the saved passwords. Tried every password I could remember on my phone and tablet but no joy.


Pete,
My wife and I worked it out last night. It has been 20 years since my son and I visited your home. I still have the Scott/Lindner Premier. Did have it renovated (not a full restoration) by some of the craftsmen I met though this website. Have also since learned the skills to do such work myself.


Stan,
That has to be 15+ years. It has been 15 years since I left the employer I was working for at the time. So it could easily be 18.


Geo.
Yes, �Marksman� was my handle at the time. The software requires that I still use it to log in, though my username displays as �Utah Shotgunner�. I started using that name, as I thought I would never leave Utah (and would return yesterday!). Of course, as soon as I made the change, we packed up and moved east.


Back at you Joe.



Perry,
Yep, there was earlier version. It think I first found �Gunshop.com� in mid to late �97. Just before I left Arizona for my move to Utah.
As Stan mentioned above. I remember a phone call with you. I was driving past the Kennecott Copper Mine, headed to a customer site in Nevada. Don�t recall what we were discussing (shotgun related I�m sure) but clearly remember the call.

I'll always remember that big old Elsie with fondness, Mike. I took ducks with it on the L'Anguille River in Arkansas, with hand loaded 2 7/8" bismuth, but more importantly I may not have been able trade into this 16 ga. 32" barreled Elsie if I had not had the big 0 grade as trading fodder.



May you live well.................and long.

I've been here pretty much from the start and before the formation of GLSSA.

Back when I first started, there was a significant "Damascus Roulette" contingent among the regular posters. We don't see nearly as much of that these days.

Got our first home computer December 1998, and been here ever since.

My profile shows 12/31/01 but as I recall we had to Re-join about that time. I note good number with that same date & some others as 01/01/02, a day later. I know that I started out on internet dial-up prior to my retirement in Aug of '99 but do not now recall just when I joined the doublegun forum or how I even found it.
I do remember the name Marksman, but had not realized until it was pointed out that you were the same person..
