Hello to all in Finheaven

[GandalFin]

:) I've been a member for a while and just joined VIP. I'm an avid post reader, but since I'm starting to post more now, I thought I would introduce myself.

I've been a Finfan from the beginning, remembering well the contest to name the team, and was in the stands when Joe Auer ran back the opening kickoff. And so forth. I live in Charlottesville, VA now, but Finheaven has allowed me to be involved with the team, and I feel like I've gotten to know a lot of the thread posters. I can certainly identify with some of the "Children of the 60's".

I'm not a frequent poster, and not much of a wizard, (hehe) regarding football knowledge, but I look forward into growing into the Finheaven family. Thanks!

Thanks, cnc66, first&goal. You hit the nail on the head with geezer, I am getting up there. However, I would not trade growing up in the 60's for anything!

Miami truly was the "magic" city back then. I too recall sitting at the supper table trying to decide what name WE were sending in for our new football team. We chose "Hammerheads" btw. We had just a month before went camping on Man O War Key out of Flamingo, and had caught half a dozen Hammers bigger than 6 feet right off the beach, so they were fresh on our minds.

Thanks, mainer. cnc, the Miami Hammerheads, instead of the Dolphins. Hmm, doesn't sound too bad. I wonder if the team history would be significantly different if they had a different name. If naming after sharks that frequent S Fla waters could have been the Mako's or the Bulls. Don't think the Lemons would sound too good.

Thanks bro. I am not a surfer, but the weather has been great! It's 4:00pm in the afternoon now, and it's 76 degrees with a nice breeze.

Thank you like2god, MercuryMorris. To Fin Fan in Cali, weather out there is almost always good near the coast. The company I work for is in Foothill Ranch and used to be in Irvine. I get out there usually once or twice a year, and Laguna and Newport Beach are close by.
