I've played since I was about 10 years old..although I hesitate to admit it
sometimes. I still play with the same group I've played with back then, even
though the miles separate us (thank god for voice over IP and flat-rate
billing:)
I met Gary several times at conventions here in Virginia...awesome guy and
very down to earth. I'm sure many of us grew up with the positive influence
the game had on us.
