Our very own Bubbles...all grows up!

OK, I know Bubbles hasn't posted here in about 100 years (actually a little over a year), but I saw him today on TVG...don't know how long he's been there (I knew he was a producer at HRTV), but I still remember him when he was a wee lad, below the betting age, hanging out up at Saratoga along with his dad (also a member here - SilverSow - and another who hasn't posted in over a year) at many of the Saratoga parties.

Congrats Bubbles, if you ever read this! Remember the little guys who you met on the way up!

Thanks, PA, great to see out little boy turned out good!


You would have had a hard time finding a nicer kid with his head screwed on right. I will always remember Silver Sow telling us one day at the table, "I taught Bubbles all he knows, but not all I know!"

He's doing well, caught that segment myself yesterday. We talk now then, he is a sharp guy and very nice---can't call him a kid any more!
