Back from the 2007 Meet & Greet...

[Drac]

No one has immunity!

Oh so true..

You know...I don't know how the distances work out, but Master Penfil and UpNorthKyosa are in that area too, we may be able to work out some Dojang hopping....

Now that, as my 10 year old says, would be WAY COOL...

Oh so true..

The SHP are kind of the Great White Sharks of the LEO ocean, I gather... top of the food chain...

Thanks for the props Brian.

I know that Alma is only a little way from where I live.

Alma is all good.

I cannot lock in next year as I do not know the program or how trips might change, but I should be good, given normal chaos, as opposed to abnormal chaos.

But either way, it should be good for all those that attend.

We could talk about a meet and greet in another location at some other time of the year.

The only interaction I've ever had with the Ohio SHP was getting pulled over on my way to a training course at Wright Patt. The Officer saw my GPS, started asking me about it, we talked for about 10 minutes about it and he let me go.

SO FAR, no complaints. I seriously doubt I'll ever get off that easy again though.

I could put some people up (maybe 8) in Las Vegas for free!

One of those people better be me!!!!!

Rich you did a fantastic job and Zachary was taken to you. He likes the way you teach.

Next year I think I'll let Father Greek handle the teaching alone...He is MORE than capable..I want to thank everybody for all the kind words and reps, though I really don't think I did anything to be worthy of such praise..

you gave so much to give Drac the storys are worth a few drinks alone.

Where exactly is Alma? I have family in Detroit that I haven't seen in several years...

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Just a side note...still working through all the pics. I take too many, lol!

I was a little worried about them, but after that Gallery of Horrors you posted on the `Why.... single' thread, I figure we have to wind up looking pretty good!

Yep..AAA with a gun..I trained with a couple at OPOTA and they were all right, their Defensive Tactics Lt was nicknamed "The Angel of Death"..

Hey Kacey we are right in the middle of Michigan and are the gateway to the Great White North!

By Detroit, I assume you mean the Detroit Metro area.

Alma is about an hour and 15 minutes north west of Flint michigan.

Flint Michigan is about an 40 minutes north of Auburn Hills (* Detroit Pistons - Palace *)

Auburn Hills/Pontiac is about 30 minutes north of Detroit - 8 Mile Road.

Of course all times vary and are based upon the posted speed limits and assumming no traffic or construction delays.

So it could be about 2 hours +/- from the middle of what most people call Detroit Metro area.

Well, more precisely, they live in West Bloomfield... but people not from the area don't generally know what I'm talking about, the same way I tell people I grew up in Milwaukee, when I really grew up in a suburb north of Milwaukee called Mequon.

All I know is he is on the way to Soaring Eagle Casino, a favorite place of Rox's and mine...

I caught a BB King concert there. Unfortunately, a man seated near us was mostly deaf or something and his wife repeated loudly to him what BB King was saying and singing, often over BB Kings next line. AAaaarrrrgghhhhh!!!!!

One could drive to Alma from West BloomField and have a seminar and even possible hang out and then drive back. It might be a long day, but it is possible.
