Great to hear from all of you Ohioans!

Lived in Northeast Ohio for 37 years, both Akron and Cleveland areas. Nothing beats a summertime visit to Cedar Point in Sandusky, relaxing at the Lake Erie islands and spending time watching trains in Bellevue by the NS yard!

I don't live in Ohio, but I've driven through it and am responding here only because I want to get five stars as quickly as possible. I figure 50-60 posts a day and I'll be there!

Jim, I did some work on that new bridge across the Ohio at Portsmouth. I have also seen Roy Roger's boyhood home. Isn't Sciotoville on US 23?

I am not up to date on all the new fangled bells and whistles,but I am an Ohioan(Buckeye) with a Penn State first love. I was born in and about Johnstown Pa till High School, then moved to Warren Ohio and married the prettiest gal that Newton Falls ever produced. After 45 Years in Ohio and 34 Years with Republic Steel Corp We moved to Mesa AZ for My Wifes health. She
ran out of health four Years ago and I am still here in Mesa AZ. Please welcome me as an Ohioan as well as My Son who lives in(Near) Ohio City on Clevelands WEST Side, and My Daughter who lives in North Royalton. Don't forget my Sweetheart aho lives in Niles. I am now getting a life back after much stress and misfortune---and I am now selling Trolleys once again.

Tom,
You mean that the following have not checked in yet? I know Springer is busy putting his garbage of TV, but where are these guys at?

Drew Carey
Phyllis Diller
Arsenio Hall
Paul Newman
Sarah Jessica Parker
Steven Speilberg
Joe Nuxhall
Pete Rose
Larry Csonka
Roger Staubach
Jack Nicklaus
Hugh Downs
Neil Armstrong
John Glenn
Tony Snow

I'm still working on getting Bill Sherman from Lancaster to check in. He would be a big help in keeping the Chief under control with his knowledge of the Suth.

Wasn't he once the mayor there somewhere, or was it govenor?

I also heard he is suppose to be the MC for the state convention.

Maybe that why all the roll calls, they can put all the lists together and have over a 100 names.

With all the roll calls you Ohio guys keep doing, What's happening ? Are you getting lost in the snow?, or suffering from cabin fever? or just plain have a hard time remembering names?
