quite a few of the people being reminisced about made it over here, most under recognizable names, a few under different names. Most are not active but are here occasionally

Either I managed to forget about that incident with Greg and Abuela (quite likely) or I missed it - not sure. I definitely miss Abuela though!

I was just reading Drew's "Spook" thread at work the other day! We were all so worried about him & hunted him down with google maps, emails, phone calls!! He was so touched that we cared do much!!

In case anyone wants to re-read about it...

I'm FB friends with Dan (Banner), KathyJB, Warren & Rebecca. Couple others too, I think. It's late & the brain is tired. lol

Dan travels a LOT!! Spends a lot of time in Asia & South America. He doesn't mention & I haven't seen any photos of his wife. Not sure what happened & didn't want to ask.

I've thought about Drew often, and wondered how he handled renovating the billiard room or ridding it of the presence that was in there. I remember him saying he was not going to do the renovations himself in that room. I always hoped that he would come back and tell us more. I hope things went well for him.

I can give it a try, but he kind of disappeared from the site and as far as I know, never came back.

I was always impressed with the work Drew was doing on his house; it started out as such a mess as it was converted from a high end home to a rooming house & Drew brought it back uncovering all sorts of interesting things along the way.
