Hi Everyone,

A belated congrats to Wayne and everyone from the central coast of CA,  
a hockey wasteland for sure. If not for Hockey-L in the early 90s, I  
would have missed out on a lot, especially getting back in touch with  
RPI hockey.

Although my wife and I only met some of you in person at the Anaheim  
FF in 1999, it was a great experience! One of these days I may make it  
to another FF, you never can tell!

As a side note, some of you may recall that it was because of the list  
I was reconnected with an old RPI friend (and fellow physics major)  
Bob Stagat who, as it turns out, was living just 90 mi south of me in  
Santa Barbara all these years. Although he passed away a few years  
ago, Iit would never have happened without the list. I remember  
getting an email from him after I made a post ... "Is this the same  
Tony Buffa who went to RPI from 1906-64?"  :-)

Cheers,

Tony Buffa
RPI '64
San Luis Obispo, CA
