Gym Rat had a lot of friends in the Organization and when Patterson was there and made those huge staff cuts, she got really pissed with the organization and wrote them off completely.
ABM update... He has a gf in Bend and as she is 50 and retired, they are spending a lot of time together here and there (they're on the coast for 5 days as we speak). Also, he is very busy at work. He is now the lead sales rep and doing quite well at it. But they really have him hopping. He tells me he drops by to look in every so often but just hasn't time to be a part of the community. I suspect he and his gf will marry by this summer and then as a retired country gent, he'll reappear.
I'm back. I did recently take a couple weeks off, but it was over the All-Star break, so I didn't think anyone would notice. I needed a break from all the negativity and drama, but started posting again a couple days ago. BNM
I used to work with PBF back when we all posted on the ESPN forum about 10 years ago. We worked together on a couple projects at my previous job. He was a really good guy and a huge Blazers fan. Haven't seen him in over 7 years. Hope he's doing well. Just realized, if he ever does lurk here, he may not know who I am as I changed my screen name during the migration from ESPN to the BBF forum. I used to be TraderBoob on ESPN forum. BNM
I always have a soft spot for Gym Rat. She once gave me 4 Christmas day game tickets (good seats) that I used to take my wife and daughters to their first game. For years, every Christmas my daughters couldn't understand why we weren't going to a Blazers game.
Is he still doing something with windows? Wise guy, pick a lady with some decent money and settle down (she has to have money if she's retired at 50, right?).
