RyanC883 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Pittsburgh, PA. Lived in Utica, Syracuse, Buffalo and Binghampton until middle school. Pittsburgh ever since, except for 4 years at Cuse!

ExWNYer Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Ray you dirty dog! Give our condolences to Drayton… Seriously though, besides the fact that the vast majority of respondents in this thread are "Buffalo ex-pats" or even people who had "the curse" passed down from family, another interesting feature is that there are a lot of lurkers weighing in… people who rarely post. Anyways, these threads (where to eat in WNY, what to do in WNY, Best Bills game experience) tend to be the most interesting because among other reasons, you learn a little something about the people you see post here. Dirty dog, Bob? Moi? I agree with your take on this thread. It's very interesting that a lot of "lurkers" are chiming in on this...a lot of names I've either never seen or haven't seen in quite a while. That coupled with the fact that you learn many fascinating tidbits about fellow Bills fans has me loving this thread. These are always my favorite types of off season conversations. Kudos to the OP! Curious...fellow fredonia grad...lived in richmond for 18 years...knew several richmond area fredonia grads...any of them in the mid to upper 40 year old range? That would be all concerned, Pooj. The one who went to Fredonia for the first two years (from North Collins) is the same age as me, 48. The other girl is from Olean and is a couple of years younger (45 or 46). Haven't seen the former since '86, the latter since '93. Basically, a lifetime ago. BTW, I have two other Fredonia connections. My dad went there for a semester in 1960 before joining the Air Force. My aunt in Jamestown (his sister) graduated from there in the '60s. I used to attend training camp there every chance I got. My grandmother lived just up the road in Dunkirk on the corner of W. 7th Street & Brigham Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now living in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland and this is the last stop for me. Came down to Orchard Park for the Eagles game last year and will return on occasion to catch a game live.

chaccof Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Surprising to me all the connections to Fredonia State here. All of you must have at some point encountered my brother, he's held the chemistry chair there for 25 years. If by connections you mean failing the class, then that would be a yes....
