Sorry if my scans and posts aren't perfect. Rushing to get to an appointment.
Enjoy!

islandAl · 09-23-2004, 04:51 PM

Fabulous job and great article, makes me even sorrier that I could not make that outing.
Thanks again.

Rob · 09-23-2004, 05:07 PM

Very nice. Thanks to RG for scanning that in.

Thanks to Roger for the writeup.

It's nice to see the forum get some publicity.

Rob

mcdude · 09-23-2004, 05:21 PM

Thanks for scanning that RG. I notice that you managed not to get your photo in the paper! I'll have to post the raffle photo from Al of the Sea Que!
You all look great in print! Nice meeting you all!

Outlaw · 09-23-2004, 05:31 PM

Thank you Roger for the great pictures and the great write-up, that was great ! Now my secret is out for all the world to see. I knew it was too good to last forever.

Rattlesnake Gal · 09-23-2004, 06:45 PM

Now we need to set up an autograph session! You’re all famous now that your picture is in the paper.

Many thanks go to Roger Amsden for the exciting story. You helped make our first ForumFest very special.

Many thanks to Don the Webmaster too. It’s all because of you.

Skip · 09-23-2004, 07:24 PM

Darn, that just isn't fair!!!!

I never got to pose with the pretty ladies like McDude did!

Outlaw · 09-23-2004, 08:14 PM

Great picture, it was worth the xtra bucks to hire that girl to stand in for me. Thanks for the excellent idea Skip.

upthesaukee · 09-23-2004, 09:34 PM

Nice job Roger on the article and pics. Thanks RG for the fine scanning. and yes MR Outlaw, your secret is safe with us. (But who is going to believe us

)

Outlaw · 09-23-2004, 09:40 PM

I knew I could count on my buddies. Thanks!

Now I know why I was not mentioned in the forum gathering picture posts.

I thought she looked familiar.

I paid her to double as GWC…, well, actually I gave her one of my vehicles. It's a single seater.

You must have paid her more to double as you.

Now I understand.

Who says money is not important?

GWC - It wasn't money at all. That poor girl took one look at that vehicle and decided you must be an Outlaw!

Outlaw · 09-23-2004, 10:03 PM

Let the truth be told, with winter just around the corner, there was something more than money she wanted -- a new snow plow. Check this beauty out, got it from a guy on Durrel Mountain Road in Belmont -- sweeeeet !

That's an "explitive" beauty. I'de roll in it. Bring that ol thing down to PA and dig me out.

dpg · 09-24-2004, 05:29 AM

Darn, missed out on all those beauties!!

Wow, I'm still spinning from the picture of Outlaw, had me fooled. It's funny how we form mental pictures.

Lin · 09-24-2004, 05:58 AM

Great news article. Thanks for scanning and posting it. Makes me wish I could have been there. But it just wasn't in the cards for this year maybe a future reunion. Glad to see it though!

Coastal Laker · 09-24-2004, 08:10 AM

Now everyone knows my little Jack's identity! I'll have to dye her hair black, give her a fake peg leg, and change her name. Think she'll respond to "Capt'n Jack?" She is in charge after all.

SIKSUKR · 09-24-2004, 08:40 AM

Wow! I couldn't have had a different vision of who outlaw was.Can Belmont resident still jump all over Cabin fever after seeing what cutie she is?Who knew we had all those beautifull on this forum?I'm jealous McDude.Thanks so much RG for posting that article.You contribute a lot of great stuff to this site! SS

Lady Di · 09-24-2004, 10:47 AM

My friend is supposed to send me a copy of the paper, but so far, I haven't received it. What a neat article. I wish I could have been there.
Oh well, at least I was mentioned,

.

I wish I was there NOW.....we are going to get yet another hurrucane this weekend. Enuff, I say!!

GrandmaBig6 · 09-24-2004, 11:32 AM

Am so sorry I missed the party. Unfortunately living in Long Island, New York doesn't allow me the luxury of getting to NH very often - once a year. Darn. Thanks so much for the article, it was great to see pictures of other Forum writers. Outlaw you really thru me a curve ball.

Rattlesnake Gal · 09-24-2004, 11:34 AM

I was like a little kid at Christmas last night when Rattlesnake Guy brought them home for me. Unfortunately I was short on time, but it worked out just fine. He was such a sweetie, after landing in Manchester, he headed up to the Visitors Center in Hookset. (The Liquor Store rest area.) They didn’t have any, so he drove all the way to Concord. I’m the luckiest gal in the world.

Poor guy, it's been a rough couple weeks. Hopefully he can come to the lake with us for a little R & R.
You were here in spirit Lady Di.
Thanks SIKSUKR, I’m glad you appreciate my contributions. It means a lot and it has been fun. Occasionally I worry that I am annoying people, it seems I can’t control my posting urges.

If it gets out of hand someone will have to start Over Posters Anonymous.

I feel like all the members of the forum are friends. I think the new forum style has greatly contributed to this. It’s very special and I enjoy being here very much. Winnipesauke.com is a nice place to be.

A great community.

Joe Kerr · 09-24-2004, 10:49 PM

Nice article about the forumfest. Thank you RG for scanning and posting it for us. I could not find it on the Weirs Times web site Weirs Times On-Line. Did I miss it there?

It sure helps me with the place the face game, like Merrymeeting said, it's almost like a cheat sheet for a few faces. Part 3 of the article does not list any names to go with the picture on that page though. Do we get a list of name choices to match with the faces? Do we post our guesses or e-mail them to someone or what? Number 13 might be hard to guess, or not. We'll see. Is there a time limit and when can we expect to see the official answers?

Many more people attended but, for whatever reason, were not in the group picture. Can you all post more pictures and include more of the different people? They can't all want to hide their identities.

I'm sorry I could not make it but I was there in spirit. With so many Mass people on the forum maybe there could be a winter gathering in MA.

Rattlesnake Gal · 09-25-2004, 07:14 AM

For some reason The Weirs Times doesn't put the whole newspaper on their site.

They should! It is a great publication, but you have to be in the right region to pick it up. The other alternative is to subscribe. Wouldn't it be cheaper if all of us read it online? The advertisers still get their bang for their buck. Maybe even more readers would come aboard. Guess I'll have to check into it.

There must be a good explanation.

Skip,

You expected someone named OUTLAW to pose with a law enforcement person?

Sorry I missed the fest. Bring on more pictures. I'm trying to match the names with the faces. I've got a few thanks to the Weirs Times.

glennsteely · 10-22-2004, 04:55 AM

how do i get invites to this kind of gathering? i am up at the lake at least 2 times every summer (sometimes 5 or 6) how do i get info about these get togethers, i would love to meet people who love the lake as much as i do.....gs

Rattlesnake Gal · 10-22-2004, 06:31 AM

Anyone can attend this open event.
How did you miss it?

You have been a member since June!

Guess you need to stop in more often?

glennsteely · 10-22-2004, 02:10 PM

Gilly 20 · 10-17-2004, 12:30 PM

Thanks to all who contributed to the Frumfest reports and to Rattlesnake Gal. Only the hurricanes in Florida kept us away this year. Let's start right now to plan next year's event! I want to and, God willing, will be there. Thanks again- for bringing the warmth and pictures home!--
