They had come to see the Corvette Museum here in Bowling Green, KY, and since I only live about 5 minutes away from there, he contacted me to see if I would be open to them coming for a brief visit. SURE THING!!!

It was great to meet the face behind the name. They stayed a couple of hours and toured my place and played some pins.
It was a great surprise and we had a nice time. I greatly appreciated that they took the time to look me up while here in the Lower 48.

This is one of the great joys of Pinside!!!

I was glad to meet you. It is always better to get to me a person face to face. We are all here for the same reason and got to enjoy the time a friend's we have.

I enjoyed the hospitality and hope to be able to meet again one day.

Same ole same ole, Dan! Just getting fatter! I think I have now had more people from Alaska to visit here to see my pins than all the rest of the states combined! Who woulda thunk it?!!!

Believe it or not, I have learned SO many things about repairing pins since you were here. You helped me do things that today I would be ashamed to ask you to do!!!

Hope the family is doing fine. I bet that boy has really grown! We've got 4 grandchildren and 'holding'.

Take care,
Mike

Thanks! Always nice to some local pinball people. I really don't know any at all. Looks like he has quite a collection. I like working on games too if he needs any assistance.

Hey, don't be sorry. I'm glad to see you are still alive and kicking!!! I still remember the fun we had from your visit. I haven't been on Pinside much lately because I've been busy building a new front porch onto our house and this week I'm pouring a concrete sidewalk leading up to it. Doing it all by hand! Ugh!

Good to hear from you.
