Geno,
Just asked similar on the new thread.
I think Tzone, Rooster7, Northern Dave & a bunch of other nth Minnesotans interacted with him.
Seem to recall him meeting Flave at a gathering in MN too !
I know rooster from my childhood and maintain a friendship with him to this day. Tzone has ben to my hunting camp by invite several times, to my home and along ice fishing with us. I know flave by phone, txt and emails, we've never met in person, and I've never met gopher.
