Reply #65: I was fortunate - I met Keph back in 2002

at DU get together at a park in Indy. I periodically drive by the same park. That drive can make me misty. He certainly did rule LBN.

Maeve was one of the first Duers to reach out to me, and Uly was the first to note my crossing to 1000k posts - at first I thought it was because he was a mod and back when it was a fairly small community that mile marker could be easily followed and noted - I thought he was just doing a obligatory service. Then I found it was because he realized before I did that we were kindred posters per interests and demeanor. Not much later I remember our frequent crossing paths - and the realization that we were both in the same (then) red state of Indiana. Running across you in a thread always brings a warm sense of familiarity and welcoming. :loveya: !!
