Frank WakefieldHey Pauls,
A great story for you all to have shared. Thanks to each of you.
The first item I bid on was an E card of Walter Mails. "Duster", "The Great Mails" as he liked to be called. I'd looked at eBay a few times, but never bid. Then I saw this card. And when I tried to bid I learn I have to register!!! Yikes. I recall I had about 16 minutes, which didn't seem like much time. I started trying to register. Time ticked by. Wakefield was taken. Frank was gone. FrankW. My nickname from childhood, Wakey, was taken. Only a few minutes to go... I thought of The Great Mails and without thinking tried Greatwake. It took. I bid. I won the card.... and I was stuck with a bit on an arrogant handle. Just thought at least one of the three of you would get a chuckle out of that.
