Throwback Thur... err, Flashback Fri... no... Superannuated Saturday!

I can't believe I found this!

I was clearing off an old flash drive today so I could take one with me to save some Genealogy info on at the library. Unfortunately a migraine foiled my plans.

It's cleared up significantly now, fortunately. So I went through the stuff from the flash drive. And came across some photos dating back into high school.

You may remember that this project started in earnest back in 2002 when I went to the MISL All-Star Game, including the Skills Competition and Fan Fest. Some random person (apparently named Nathaniel Schaffer) took photos at the Fan Fest. And I appeared in two of them while getting autographs.




Here's to hoping I can track Schaffer down and see if he has more!

The June Update

Alright, so, last update was June 5, let's do a July update to recap June, yeah? Seems like a good idea.

JUNE 8
Teddy Krafft, 4/3, 1 week, wrote a short note back
David Eise, 3/3, 1 week, signed on back

JUNE 9
Gary Heale, 2/2, 3 weeks
Ricky Davis, 1/1, 3 weeks

Savva Biller, 2/2, 2 weeks

JUNE 12
Lynn Venable, 3/2, 3 weeks, wrote a short note back
Chris Duke, 2/2, 3 weeks

JUNE 16
Vincent Beck, 3/2, 2 weeks, wrote a short note back

JUNE 17
Mark Mathews, 2/1, 3 weeks, wrote a short note back

JULY 1
Chris Reif, 3/2, 1 month, wrote a short note back

Still plenty that I'm waiting on. I didn't send anything out in June because I spent a lot of time on IP baseball and non-graphing stuff (band, genealogy), but what I sent in May and am still waiting on...

MAY 16: Steve Zungul, Hugo Perez, Marcelo Carrera, Mark Frederickson, Bobby Joe Esposito, Dennis Mepham, Juli Veee, Ben Collins

MAY 24: Gino Schiraldi

MAY 25: Arturo Velazco, Ed Anibal, John Klein

MAY 30: Frank Klopas, Chris Simon, Angelo Panzetta, Guy Furfaro, Alex "Keder" Filipovic, Greg Muhr

As usual, I'm not too concerned. I've had some players take a week, I've had some players take a year. Expand it out to all sports and I had one take three days and another take seven years. My average across all sports has been 64 days, and half of that in soccer alone. So I can wait.
