Ken Bora - need to meet the man, the myth, the legend...plus he might be the best story teller I have ever listened to...

Chris A....only talked to him via phone, would like to talk duck calls/techniques with him

Well, I see that most all of you have managed to skirt the top two requirement.

RULES ARE SOOOOO YESTERDAY!

I think it is time to re-frame the question. Which two on RTF would you most be inclined to partake in an adult beverage with? I "prolly" have to go with Bubba and Gosser for the obvious. However, I haven't met Melanie--I am inferring from posts that she may be be a wild one. Could be a better choice!

my answer remains the same, those I listed I did so with the intent of training dogs with, if we happened to drop the tailgate and discuss training ideology after it might entail an adult beverage or two

and FTR I not only met but trained with Fred H. on two different times, he was a guest of the group leader and although the first encounter was very awkward since he and I tangled here on the RTF, but he didnt seem to be anything like his onscreen personna. He took his turns throwing birds and went along quite well with the training group

A better question would be - Who have you met & why did you leave the conversation with such a favorable impression? I've met a lot of people that play this sport, know a lot of them through their friends & had favorable impressions of their contributions but, others not so much. There are a lot of less public folks in the game that are very interesting people with interests beyond dogs. Talk to TJ Lindbloom sometime about his dealing with the tree people. TJ is a very bright guy! & I agree with all the positive comments about Felanie, talk to her sometime about what she does for a vocation.

But for 3 I haven't met - it would be Ken, Gooser & Julie R - in any order .

can we rule out grief counselor or life coach


I have met Sylvia McClure (aka jollydog) before she and Gracie hit the big time, and she is one of the nicest and most charming people you would ever want to meet, the sport needs more like her
