I have to admit to not having made it to an EO meeting yet. It's always Sunday too far away sort of stuff.
And yet I've had so much help, and enjoyed so many member messages, and even met a few EO people face to face. All wonderful people.

But never did I imagine that dropping a name from the distant past would result in the named person phoning me. All courtesy of a well known business member of EO, who put on his hat and pipe to organize it. I won't embarrass the person by naming him, he knows who he is, don't you Jim :))))))

What a blast from the past for both of us. Strangely enough he rang as I was watching "Life on Mars"; a show about a policeman who wakes up back in 1973.

Basically I got a phone call from 1968 !!

Many thanks to EO (for not moderating that particular thread:) and also to the great EO membership. May you all experience friendship that exists here.
Have a great Holiday Season, and take care on the roads and tracks that you travel.

Footy,

The St George Gathering is not that far away so maybe you can make it to that one LOL

Cheers Kev

Well Footy, don't forget that you too are part of the group, extending your time and hospitality to fellow EO's when they were in need of assistance. And so the cycle of frienship continues.

I am sure you will make it too the next Local Gathering somewhere or even the National at St George next year.

Enjoy your Xmas with the family and we hope you don't get too much rain :-)

Cheers

G'day Footy,

I have also found my membership here to be of immense value and like you have met very few of the regulars. I hope to one day meet all these characters. I wish you and all those on EO a safe and happy festive season. Maybe santa will bring you all something extra.

Kind regards

Theo

I always enjoy your posts, Footy. You contribute lots of useful information. Hope to meet you some time. Be quick, it's unlikely that I have 40 years!!

Merry Christmas to you and yours: and to all EO'ers.
