Friends you've made through collecting?

Great Thread!
Ivan, great story about the clemente Family.
I`ve fished with Kevin/George Gross a few times, George is very, very funny. Kevin told us stories (after we asked) about Players picking up Chicks, while they were in Uniform. "All you wanted on gameday" is what he said. The gross`s have a Hunting Ranch in Oregon, they`re hard-core Sportsman.
I`ve met Tony Gwynn a few times & he`s always been very nice, he loves Fishing also. I`m overdue for a trip to SDSU to watch Aztecs Baseball, it`s about 10 mins away.
Steve Finley has come out Fishing too, he seems really nice.
The Kingman Friendship is pretty cool!
Wouldn`t say I`ve made friends yet, but hey...

My family and I have made great friends with Rex and the rest of the Grossman family. Although I met them through a different kind of business, (clients of ours), I have made a kind relationship with Rex and his parents. They are great people! Too many stories to tell about our drunk and wild nights! haha
