Born and raised in Washington State. Moved to the Midwest my senior year of high school, moved to Champaign in '82 for a job. Met my wife, a U of I swimmer, and we have been here ever sense.

Things are good here in Champaign. I was spending a lot of time at Papa Del's, and Murphy's Pub back in the early to mid 80's.
We might have bumped into each other at some time back then.

Nice collection of knives. The stacked leather handle on the Northwoods knife looks awesome.

Hey Marc
Great topic you posted on other names our members go by. Thanks cause that has been something needed to help all of us know each other. Oftentimes we do know them- but by other names :)
Thanks
Scott
