Looks like I got a little behind, didn't I?
Hockey season is kicking into gear, plus I hit the Texas State Fair one day and we bought a new printer. Plus my wife and I might hit Six Flags this weekend. And the Browns are playing every week. So posting updates kind of fell by the wayside for a few days.
On the plus side, a few have come in over the last week.
 |
| One Schmetzer down, two to go |
Last Saturday, a couple of former Cleveland Crunch players rolled in as Andy Schmetzer and P.J. Johns signed and returned to me. Schmetzer is now a coach in Seattle, while Johns now works in fertilizer sales and distribution in Ohio. He also owns a few rental houses, and his wife owns a business that sells secret compartment furniture.
 |
I may need to get some of that secret
compartment furniture. Sounds cool. |
Monday brought me Ron Newman. After the message on Facebook I mentioned a while back, he did just as was requested, signing my four cards and getting them back to me quickly.
 |
| One of the greatest coaches in MISL history |
Mike Stankovic arrived on Wednesday, signing six cards.
 |
| He also wrote "All the Best!" on the inside of the envelope |
Friday saw another international arrival, as Mark Karpun signed four cards for me from Canada.
 |
| We're now at three countries with successes in this project! |
Saturday was a busy one: Marcel Loosveld arrived from the Netherlands. Unfortnately it looks like the marker he was using died out on him, so he tried to re-sign it in blue pen. It works, I can't complain much there.
 |
| He also enclosed his business card with the Dutch National program |
Neil Megson also arrived, signing four cards after my initial attempt failed. I'll be adding his new address to my 2016 address list.
 |
Second time was the charm: seems a few former players are
leaving Crossfire with Megson and (spoiler alert) Ralph Black |
And I had one failure, as Ralph Black is no longer with Crossfire Premier Soccer Club. I'll try him again with his new team this week.
I mailed out another batch on Tuesday. Hitting the outbox were Andy Chapman, Tim Wittman, Hector Marinaro, Nikola Ristic, Kris Peat, Dennis Mepham, Mike Sweeney, Peter Ward, Pato Margetic, Scoop Stanisic, Walter Schmetzer, Simon Keith, Joe Koziol, David Brcic, Ken Fogarty, Bruno Ferretti, Earl Foreman, Homer Screws, Perry Van Der Beck, Joe Waters, Rusty Troy, Diego Mandagaran, Emil Dragicevic, Cacho Cordoba, Mark Mettrick, Doug Neely, Gus Mokalis, Kevin Kewley, Nenad Zigante, Daniel Donigan, Alan Willey, and Gregg Blasingame. I like will re-send to Black, and have a list of another ten or so to try as soon as I feel like writing.
