|
|
Most known for his posting at LT (where he had something like 80,000 posts) Greg was a well known, wonderfully kind and friendly poster on all sites (here and CL as well).

[I've compiled a few of T I's posts below. He was a long-time Laker fan. Some of you may remember his wit. -db]
| T I wrote: | | I went to my first Laker game in Mpls. in 1954. It was a fledgling league and they were practically giving tickets away. Especially to High School coaches. I must be honest, I remember nothing of the experience but the sounds of the crowd, the smell of popcorn and beer, and my dad, yet I was hooked. |

| My condolences to his family. When I scrolled through threads, his posts were one of the few I'd actually stopped and read. Great poster. Will be missed. |
