TBG Get-Toghether 2002
Special thanks to Smokin Joe for re-sending me some old pics of a little get-together we had in my hometown in 2002. Fastshawn and his family were in town, and SJ lives not to far off, and even though he had been camping for the weekend with his family, he decided to head back to Abbotsford for an afternoon to join us at a local pub. SJ was the one with the camera so there were a lot of shots of the rest of us and no solo shots of the former Chairman.
After I get back from holidays in 2 weeks, I'll do what I can to clean this site up a bit and make it a bit more pleasant to look at, but for now I am only going to add the pics for your viewing pleasure.

Okay...finally the wait is over. I have to apologize for a couple of the pics. I am not a photographer and do not own a camera. My pics were taken with one-time use disposables(thanks Tom), and some were taken with my phone and I haven't quite figured it out yet so a couple are a bit small.
Day 1 I got a couple shots of the view from my hotel room with my cellular phone.
Swimming Pool at Holiday Inn
View of the Otonabee River
This is also the day that we went to the zoo...again with the cel phone.
Slick Willy and daughter Sarah at the zoo.
Day 2 we hopped on a riverboat and took a tour through the locks including a famous liftlock.
Fountain on the lake.

Unfortunately my pics of the birthday bash at Pizza Hut didn't turn out too well. If you guys want to see them anyway let me know and I'll add them.
Day 3 I seperated from the group to drive to Ottawa/Hull to visit a highschool friend. Can you imagine this tiny girl at 95 pounds soaking wet giving birth to an 11 pound baby!

Day 4 I drove back to Peterborough to pick up the guys for a trip into Toronto to take in a Blue Jays game.

Back by popular demand...the pic of me and Ashley from the night I got home. I took them down because they didn't really have anything to do with the get-together, but hey, if I'm getting requests...
