  1. Belated Happy Birthday Ann !!
  2. A++ on that video. Well done
  3. Dec 26, 1964. AFC Championship at the Rockpile. THE hit by Mike Stratton on Keith Lincoln. The second memory involves listening to Van Miller on the radio. When we lived in Ashtabula OH, the Browns games were on the radio on AM 970 while the Bills games were on WBEN 930. On a warm Sept. afternoon, we were on the deck and while trying to listen to the Browns game, I heard the very familiar voice of Van Miller. Holy Cow I can listen to the Bills games now. Since the radio signal would just travel across Lake Erie it was easy to listen to the Bills now. Needless to say, this drove Mrs. Lew nuts as I would listen to the Bills games on the radio and watch the other games on a muted TV. Alas, when we moved to WV, that radio thing does not work so well. LOL Third best memory was 51--3. Watched the game in the sports lounge at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The large contingent of LA Raiders fans left early and us Bills fans had the place to ourselves. Mrs. Lew hit a very large jackpot at the slot machine that day too.
  4. Trail names were Twix and Paraguay. Moose + Car collision means New Car...
  5. We are very proud of them and am back in SWV now. After completing the trail we vacationed in Bar Harbor ME. Instead of 'trail' magic, they enjoyed 'lobster' magic. While in Maine, we came within 10 feet of hitting a moose on the road. We were looking on the rhside of the road and she came from the left. Thank goodness for good eyes, great reflexes and superb brakes.
  6. My daughter and her hubby just finished hiking the Appalachian Trail. The began in late February and finished on Monday Sept. 9. Below is a link to their journal of the trip. It is a great accomplishment and we are very proud of them. http://www.trailjour...y.cfm?id=398381 This is the first of many pages.
  7. USA record in matches AT Costa Rica is 0-8-2. Mexico will be like a wounded animal on Tuesday night Very dangerous.

  11. How soon will Adam Richman and Man vs. Food arrive ? That's gonna be a challenge
  12. I can still remember watching guys carry cases of beer INTO the Rockpile back in the day. And I remember some of those beer cans becoming airborne when 'things' went against the Bills.
  13. Congrats to Jason Dufner winning the PGA championship.
  14. ... if you have ever heard of this engineer. http://www.latimes.c...48173.htmlstory. His impact on your lives can not be calculated.

  16. I hope that Landon D and Eddie Johnson enjoy their trip to Brazil next summer. Good luck to the men's team on Sunday. I wonder if Herr Klinsmann swore at the Ref in auf Deutsch or in English.

  20. EdinKC and I collected these bottle caps also. We had a ton of them and got the footballs as the prize. Wore that football out as it was a very good one. We did the same thing with the magnet and fishing out of the machine. As far as becoming a Bills fan...My dad and a couple of co-workers shared seasons tickets. First game at the Rockpile was in 1962. Been following ever since. There are several Bills fans here in WV and Darryl Talley is the reason for that
  21. In 1975 I started working for company U in SE Ohio, then was transferred to NE Ohio and company E bought the division of company U that I worked for. Stayed there until 1988 when company E decided to send me to WV. Which in the long run was a good deal since the plant in NE Ohio has been closed for several years. Been in WV since 1988. In 2005 company G bought the WV plant and I have continued with them until now. I am in the lab and test materials in the ferroalloy industry. It is kinda funny that I am in the lab for 10 hours a day, since I generally disliked labs in college. So I have been working in the same field for 38 years.
  22. Cheers and Happy Birthday Aussiew !!!
