Met a Sitcomsonline friend today - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I joined SO in approx. 2000 in anticipation of the DVD release of The Dick Van Dyke Show. (It was a long time in coming!) At that time there was a man on this board with the screen name Sawgrass Steve. This was a very active thread back then but over time, it has faded. Still, Steve and I somehow became friends on Facebook several years ago. Today, for the first time in 16 years, we met face to face, with his lovely wife. What an honor! And we're both still TDVDS fans! Thank you, Steve and Shelley! What an awesome day!

That's neat that you finally got to meet in person!

I love meeting people in person that I've met online!

It was good to hear about your nice experience. There are some folks here I'd like to meet one day in person. Maybe one day I will!

Great to see two names from past in this forum. Sawgrass Steve was a great poster and I'm glad you both got a chance to meet. I wish Steve was still posting here and the forum was more active. Glad he's doing well and you're both still watching the show. Great to hear from you again, Lolac.
