Have yet to meet FreelandJohn in person.

Well, DANG! -- maybe he's still moving/setting up household/getting used to
new daily work travel requirements -- who knows? Sooner or later, he'll
re-surface.
I just talked to Ryan Skaggs (Freeland) a few days ago. We played his team
a week ago. He also hasn't run into him yet, and wasn't even aware that he
was moving to Freeland. Also, Ryan has no real idea who he is, although
both had been going to the Golden Fleece at around the same times.
I've NEVER been to the Golden Fleece, myself, so I don't know him either.
But, I DO personally know quite a few guys that go there pretty often:
Cuemaker Paul Allers, Chuck and Ben Hassler, Bill Irons, Scott Chandler,
Jeff Jiminez, Rocky Baird, Leo Violette, and a whole bunch of more of the
same guys from the Seattle --> Bellingham area, as well as the owner,
himself, Dave Bersenadze (who absolutely HATES being called "Russian
Dave" -- he's from the country of Georgia) -- it's from them that I have a
pretty good description of the Golden Fleece. They all say it's definitely
the best place in the PacNW, especially for 1-Pocket.
It takes the "Jaws of Life" to pry me off of your "Secret Island," so, for
the last few years, I have been living vicariously through others. Still, I
hope Rodan/FreelandJohn gets in touch with you sometime soon -- I would like
to run into him, soon, also.
