Remember Pelican?
I'm not sure who dropped the ball, and it doesn't matter, but he stopped posting here, and we fell out of touch with one another.
A friend recently moved to Foley, Alabama, and visited Rick's shop. I am very glad to learn that he is still around.
That's Rick/Pelican in the center. Last I saw him, he had a beard.

I know that he's one of the Original GB crew from 1999, and that he was tight with Captain Kirk (RIP), my old boss over on Ask The Experts. I don't think that Pelican has posted in over 10 years.

Yep, I remember him posting.

Would you ask him if they have any primers?

I started reading the talk boards during late 1999. One of the first threads I opened in April of 2000 was a question about handling a feedback issue...Pelican helped me figure it out....I remember his humor and sarcasm from the early days. Good to hear he is well.

I remember him from the past. If I remember right, David, when you were out here with your first wife and sons and I got you into WDW , after you left me you were going up to see Pelican and you went out on his boat that looks like a mini tug boat. Is that the same guy?

One of the good guys.

I remember the name, nothing else. Maybe it is my age... or his.

David,
My oldest Daughter lives in Loxley Alabama. I bet her husband has been his shop a bunch. I’ll bug him about getting over there now that he is an unemployed Pipe Line worker he has a lot of time on his hands.
Loxley is just South of I-10 on the East side of Mobile Bay. I’ll have to stop by there the next time I am down there.

Good gawd, small world. Yes I remember him and had no idea he had gun shop. I went looking for that shop on the way back from Orange Beach to Meridian, MS. last October, didn't find it, wife was happy but I was bummed out.
Gives me darn good reason to go back.
