slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

On a recent trip to visit my youngest son's Family, I met yet another OPP-er for the first time. After years of efforts to make contact, I had the pleasure of meeting Dtucker300 for breakfast. He made the effort of coming up from Vista, Ca. (near Camp Pendleton) to join me near the AMRAK station in L.A. In his case, though we had our differences, I had always viewed him favorably. So, as I had a 4-hr. layover, I appreciated the chance to meet.

'Tuck' is one of about thirty OPP contributors I have personally met over the past dozen years. Just as the others didn't disappoint, neither did he. We have had numerous exchanges over the years, but this was the first time things aligned in a manner that allowed us to actually sit across the table from each other. From my viewpoint, we had an enjoyable time discussing wh**ever popped into our minds. I don't recall politics or personal ideologies consuming much of our conversation. Rather, we mostly discussed/shared tidbits of experiences during our lives. I must say that meeting him confirmed once again that, if given a chance to meet face-to-face, many (if not most) contributors on this forum would get along just fine. I would encourage others on OPP to make efforts for meeting fellow members and get to know them better. It is my contention most Americans have much more in common than they realize.

At least, you did not mention the hotel visit in your list.


Yikes, it has been two hotel visits.

With great effort, I have kept our past times together at hotels a well-kept secret.

Nice! I’ll bet there are quite a few of us who could have some good in person conversations.

Given the chance/opportunity, I truly would enjoy meeting you, Lady Rose.
