Aha!,
I was looking for a newbie intro place. Hello everyone. Me an ol'6468 go way back!! Quick background CG vet, 67-71, 33 years in the Property Management business. Was on duty in midtown Manhattan when 9-11 occurred, not a fun week.......to put it mildly. Married 40 years, all the kids are out of the house so me and the wife have to learn to live with each other again.

Love history and historical preservation. Avid reader and a very ardent Washington Redskins fan.  I lean conservative politically speaking. Strict constructionist when it comes to the Constitution.

Hope to participate in things as I get to know you all!!

Ollie

PS My Avatar is the Flank Marker for the 6th New York Heavy Artillery. It is my favorite Union Civil War Regiment. I will get into that sometime down the road.

Welcome, ollie! Always great to get another vet on board.

When the question comes up about whether or not you like peach cobbler, just keep in mind that there is no such thing as bad peach cobbler.

Trust me. It's important.  ;)

I was never given that warning, and I don't understand it.  :???:

But I like peach cobbler, anyway.  :-)

On a previous forum, ollie gave members a personal  description of Manhattan during the attack on 9/11. It was terrifying and very descriptive. A hell of a thing for someone to have to experience.

Wazzup with the peach cobbler? I've seen it mentioned before, too.  :???:

Gotta leave until tomorrow AM (I think).   :bolt:

Welcome aboard, ollie!  :cheersmate:

I'm a sort of semi Civil War buff too. In July I had the privilege to hold the Colt pistol one of my ancestors carried during the war with the 154th NYV infantry. Pretty cool. Unfortunately the guy that owns it isn't interested in selling it back to our family.

Thanks for the welcome y'all and I love anything peach with the possible exception of ice cream. :-). As ol'6468 mentioned I was in Manhattan that terrible day in September when we were on another board together. Each night I came home, I told the other board members what transpired in the City that day from my point of view. There were a couple of things that still shake up me up a little when I dwell on it, dust in the eyes and all that. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to post it. Just remember if you read it that everything I jotted down was as it was happening, so some of the things that I heard on the radio, don't jibe with facts as we know them today. However, I made a decision not to edit it as I thought it would take away from the moment. I didn't want a polished piece per say.

Say the word and I'll put it up.

Regards,

Ollie

Howdy.

If you weren't paying attention, dutch508 got too many peach cobblers one year and couldn't give them away.  That's the reason for the question.  :-)

Oh man, ollie, I think you may have to hold my hand through this place!!  :panic: I'm skeered!
I hope someone does request you post what you wrote after the 9/11 attack. I know it would mean a lot to me to read it again before the 10th anniversary.

Squeek's previous forum was where ollie and I were members, oh so long ago. I think rustybayonet was there, too, but I'm old and it's hard to remember, so I'm probably mistaken...................  :whatever:   :???:   :p

Please give Squeek a hearty "Conservative Cave Welcome!" She and ollie and I go back a   l - o - n - g   time!

ollie, I highly recommend that you post your memories of that horrible experience. Please.

Hell, I thought I was younger than that!  :yahoo:

What year was that when we met at your home in Buffalo?   :???:   It had to be longer than 4 years ago.

And "old friends" doesn't necessarily mean friends that are old!  :lmao:

Didja catch the part about peach cobbler?

It ain't a trick question, as long as you answer it correctly.  :-)
