I don't think I've ever more agreed with Larry <grin>
October 1992 or 1994 was when John G and I started to build with Conan and
Chuck. John G a little sooner than I, it was right about the time that Conan
came to work at the Lego Imagination Center and we met them. Since Conan
lived in a house with a few other guys, the gathering was informal, but
frequent.
(Year date is different because I don't remember if I was already married or
not. Oct 93 was in CT as a model builder, cuz that was the year I got
married.)
