I was selling my winter tires two years ago on KIjiji. Met the buyer at our offices, parking lot industrial area.
Went outside behind a friend (6' 5") the buyer greeted him and he told him I was the seller. Paid cash quick and left. My friend was just going to get something out of his car
My brother was a member here and posted under the name of eddyk
Ed died back in 2007 and somehow Joey got hold of a photo of Ed and I fishing.
Joey secretly took up a collection among some board members without me knowing anything about it and had Pamela paint the picture then her and Paul showed up at my house one evening and presented me with the picture.
One of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received and Joey was one of the nicest people I ever had the honor of calling a good friend.
Started on FishOntario in 2002, added Fish-Hawk in 2003 as it was basically home turf waters that most there were posting about, and later started lurking here in 04 I think, came on about 05/06 and joined NAA, RB's and YRF about then too. All have basically died, with F-H likely to be the next.
Soooooooooo many people have come and gone but some still really stand out for each of us when you see their names. It would be great to hear how old members are doing, I always like reports, and guys like say Cookslav's spring Algonquin trips, Tony or Aaron's summer salmon days, Ramble's backwoods tours, etc, etc. are the types of personal fishing reports and stories which I always felt fueled me to read more. Steve posted the names Pameladellaire and Mepps as well. Pam years back sent me a print of one of her paintings. She had painted it from a picture I had taken of a cabin on Hancock Creek outside of Moosonee. Couple months ago I was looking at it here at home and happily remembering that kind gesture and the fact she used to post her paintings here. Well, she fell off the face of the earth, like many people actually do from these sites, except that some of us for whatever reason never forget them. And Joey!!! How could any of us forget her, she was beautiful with everyone here and off site as well. Doesn't matter how old this place is, the next person or post that could have some impact on your life could happen any time.
