Anyhow, I was scheduled to stay for 2 nights. The morning I was to leave for home, we got up and the Blizzard of '78 had hit full force!!

Mike was just a teen (I was in my early 20's). He and his family attended the church that my friend also went to. So I met him there.

When the blizzard hit, the bus wasn't running for a few days. By the time it was running again, I had decided I liked it there and had found a job. So I just went home, got my stuff and moved there.

Mike actually 'went with' the daughter of my friend that I had gone there to visit. They were an item for quite a long time. And then when my brother came up to visit me and stay with me for a few months, he and Mike became good friends. So he spent alot of time hanging out at my apartment with Thunder (my brother).

Mike's a great guy. It's been nice re-connecting with him on the forums (I was going to say "here", but that's not exactly true, is it?)

lol....great story!

I know it's been great reconnecting with my old friends from JCM and making new ones like you!
