Hello Again

[Bryan Long]

I'm not sure how many guys are still around from when I visited here many times a day, but I wanted to stop in quickly and say hi. I'm attempting to back in the game. I did a search for some people that I remember, but wasn't able to find many of them. Leon, are you still around? I hope to be talking to some of you guys soon as I start to get back into collecting once again.
Best Wishes all,
Bryan

Welcome back Bryan. I'm still here though my collecting and participation has been severely limited by the rotton economy of late.

Steve

Edit: Have missed that lovely Johnson Portrait avatar of yours.

Bryan--Welcome back. I thought you had been beaten unconscious in a bar-fight with Don Larsen, and never found your way home! (A few people will get that reference, e.g., Jimmy, Tim Newcomb and TBob.)

Cheers,
Mike

...we had a few exchanges on the B/S/T five or so years ago. Still here.

Hi stranger! Glad you're still alive. I thought maybe the Indians had made you jump off the top of a tall building or something. Hope to see you next year at National.

I'm still here - Don never saw it coming. I managed to survive, Jimi on the other hand got beat down.

I haven't seen TBob on here in quite some time and even did a search. Is he still coming around?

Good to know that there are still some old faces in the crowd. I will try to make it a point to bring back the avatar and even chime in a few times.

EDITED: Now I have to edit for the first time because TBob beat me to the punch. Good to hear from you.

Leon dropped out of the hobby a couple of years ago, sold his collection (went for nearly three million bucks on REA) and joined a Hare Krishna sect. Figured he already had the haircut. Brockelman has reported seeing him a couple of times at the Dallas airport with his tin cup and prayer beads.

Hi Bryan,
I remember meeting you at a Net54 dinner in Chicago about five or six years ago. Welcome back.

How hard could it have been to find Leon?
