I just started turning about 4 months ago and got sucked into the world of penturning about a month ago. Looking forward to soaking up the wealth of knowledge present on this forum!

What part of Houston are you from Andy? Depending on where, it's between 3 and 5 hours from me!

I'm actually in a small town named Rosenberg. It's about 5 miles southwest of Houston but it's much easier on an international forum to say Houston. I used to work in your area. Nevada, flower mound, plano, etc...

tom, i bet you wouldnt recognize it today. Sugar Land and Rosenberg are pretty much the same city now. They used to be miles apart.

I live in Spring but across from the Woodlands, in Imperial Oaks, cheaper taxes and maintenance fees. The Exxon deal is massive.

Welcome Andy from the east side of town - Dayton. Spent many a Saturday night at the KoC Hall in Needville dancing to the Barons way back in the late 70's

I don't think there were any Triumphs or bj Thomas there when I was in high school. I did sit in a desk one year that had bj Thomas carved in it. Not sure if it was 'authentic' but still neat. I also worked with don drachenburg of the triumphs. He owned a photography store here in Rosenberg for many years. They actually just got back together for a reunion

Yes, I used to go to the Photo store in Rosenberg! Don would be in there.
We just had a high school reunion at the FT Bend Fairgrounds. I didn't make it, but I heard B.J was there.
