PA members you have met in person

[cj's dad]

I was communicating with a board member and found that I had confused him with another member who has a similar user name. I got to thinking about all the good folks here who I have met in person. I'm going to do my best to recall who, where, and the event. If you and I met and I didn't include you please let me know so I can update the list. A ? mark means I'm not 100% sure.

Here goes (in no particular order):

• Andicap- Saratoga - numerous times
• The Little Guy - Aqueduct (Wood Memorial 2011) Saratoga (at the tent) and Belmont (JCGC)
• Bettowin or Bet2Win (?) - Oaklawn Park - Zenyatta race
• Grits - Saratoga -numerous times - Oaklawn (Zenyatta) - Belmont (JCGC and Belmont Stakes ?)
• Miesque - Belmont (JCGC)
• Winter Triangle - Oaklawn - Zenyatta
• Proximity - Laurel Park - CT - Saratoga ?
• Track Collector - CT - Laurel Park
• OTMAl - Pimlico - Saratoga-numerous times - Belmont - Aqueduct
• Zaf - Saratoga -numerous times - Belmont (JCGC)
• Tom - Saratoga - numerous times
• Joe Prunes - Saratoga - numerous times
• Just Ralph - Pimlico-Laurel- Saratoga- Aqueduct
• PA - Saratoga

• Suff - Saratoga
• Bill W (mod) - Saratoga - Keeneland

He was there at least two or three times back in the early days.

He probably figured it was obvious he had met his son...err...I mean Whiz.

Hey wait, he didn't mention me or Justin? Wow, just wow. I'm not sure what to say!

If he didn't mention Whizz, Shirley he can't mention you guys.

Well, my list isn't as stellar but I've met a few:

Badactor, dogkatcher, goatchaser and Ted Craven
Met these guys at the 2011 Horse Player World Series

aggieshawn, Hoof Hearted, kmac1470, maclr11, Stan717 and Starlett
Met these guys at ASD, my home track

Scanman
Tom stayed with me for 3 nights with visits to ASD and Melville, as a result of hooking up here on PA.

eddy1
Eddy and I hosted the Ultimate Parlay Challenge before it morphed into the PaceAdvantace Challenge Series. My wife surprised me with a 50th Birthday trip to Las Vegas and low and behold, she arranged for Eddy and his wife to meet us there (first time we met in person). Since then we've been on golf vacations to Fairmont Hot Springs, BC; Whitefish, MT; and next week in Brainerd, MN. One of my closest friends.

[Ocala Mike]

Hardly anyone, but would like to:

depalma13 - He's my son-in-law.

Ernie Dahlman - Met him at Yonkers Raceway maybe 30 years ago, but he probably doesn't remember because he was busy cashing.

Posters I've met

Proximity- revel and timonium
Cj's dad- everywhere in Baltimore
Ronsmac- timonium
Track collector- timonium

All great guys

Does being in the same place without knowing who they were at the time count? In June 2009 NJ Stinks and myself were only a few feet apart in a South Lake Tahoe racebook. We had no idea of each other's identity at that time. We only realized this through later posts here on PA. After 4 years plus darned if I can recall the posts and what was said, would have to do a search and page way back. Am sure that at one time or another quite likely that I have been close to other PA members at a SoCal track or Otb site, or perhaps once again a Nevada racebook.

Like TC said Sunday it wouldn't take much to convince him to go to laurel....how bout TC take the reigns and organize a PA outing at LRL on Maryland millions day......I'm sure even cj's dad would make a celebrity appearance.....

Also side question: when cj walks into laurel does the place come to a standstill? If he walks in the door mid stretch drive does the race stop dead in its tracks?? Like Johnny chan in rounders when the world champion walks through the door?
