Mr. Long,
By any chance, would you be able to make it out to Mt. Woodson for the Shindig in March? This would complete my list of invites and we would love to have you!

hey there say, a few other "cornelius 'famers'"
all branching out into new-and-promising fields of their own:
Cornelius Vanderbilt
was one of America's richest men in the second half of the
19th century. He started in business when he was 16 years
old -- he borrowed money, bought a boat and started as a
ferryman between Staten Island and New York City. He
went on to make his fortune in the steamship business --
earning the nickname "Commodore"

Cornelius Van Drebbel - 1620
What might be called the first "practical" submarine was a
rowboat covered with greased leather. It was the idea of
Cornelius Van Drebbel, a Dutch doctor living in England, in
1620.

The Fish Bro has got a regal side for sure. Some of us are Kings in Dirtbag disguise but carry a secret clout.
He's a captain of industry marching to his own drummer (that can't always keep time)
A true Lord among lowlife!

I can't really make fun of anyone's middle name(s) given that mine are Donald and Stalker from my grandfather and mother's maiden name.

Dr. F is too modest. He was the head of the Sheep Buggerers. Just ask Vogel or Evans. They know.

I dunno, Craig. From what I saw, they all seemed to defer to you. Seemed like you were the Queen Mother of all Buggers, so to speak. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
