Hey Sailfish

JohnTN | Posted in General Discussion on September 30, 2005 08:13am

Hey Sailfish,

Aren’t you in the Tampa Bay area…and maybe also an IT type?

The outfit I work for has recently purchased a company in Tampa and I’m back and forth between Nashville and Tampa quite a bit.

Just thought I’d give you a shout and make your acquaintance. I really like the area down there and am looking forward to spending more time there.

John

      Piffin,Thanks for the bump...maybe his ears are burning now that we're talking about him :)John

        Could be - that bump was the intention - your other option is to find his name link in a thread that he has participated in and click on it. When his profile box comes up, you can choose to send him an email through Prospero. Then, when he responds, you will have his Email tooHave fun in Florida.

    Hello JohnTN

    Correct on all accounts! IT and Tampa. Strange, what a memory that Piffin has.

    I'd love to meet another breaktimer (actually I have't met my first).

    Give me a heads up, before you hit town, we'll line something up.

    Also, I have extended an open invitation to any BT'ers  for an offshore trip (weather permitting), if your into that we'll try to get it worked out to.

    Shoot me an email
