Who have you met in person from here???
- Thread starter ryan
- Start date
Met EVT 2 days ago unplanned in my local jail when he was in town on a prisoner transport and I was dropping off a 'client'. Too bad we were both busy, would have been nice to sit and 'shoot it' for a while.

I met specopsmedic719 at training on Monday night. He brought some cool toys for us to play around on.
Met RWO978 today on a call, although I highly doubt he realized who I was. Hard to talk about ELB when you're standing over a patient with shortness of breath! Would've loved to chit-chat with him.
I have meet in person;
K9Vic-I consider a friend.
Retired1-I consider a friend.
Cory Y-Was a friend, I put him in jail, he is now in prison, we trade letters, so I am his pen pal. :hopeless:
I have not met in person, but talked on the phone with MEVS06, and Station3 (I'm pretty sure) and think highly of both.

I don't even remember, but probably. I was just going to mention your username as we left.rwo978 said:
I met C3Kurt when I stopped for a visit at Code 3. Great guy, even took me on a tour after it was quitting time. I also met Glenn from Poseidon Fire Rescue Equipment. Again, great guy.
BJ (triton911bj) and I met Nate (Zapp Brannigan) about 2 weeks ago...

Coming out my way? Bring your smart phone and show me this post as your voucher for one free beer.I'll be adding a new one (maybe more) to my list here in a few weeks from the Pacific NW!
Met DISCOMC 2 days ago. Very nice, motivated and generous person. Gave me all sorts of infos and free spare parts still in OEM bags. Thanks, Christian
Picked up two more over the weekend in the greater Portland, OR metro area.
Met up with Shawn L. and took a tour of his station. He showed me around the area, even if it was going lights and sirens to Multnomah Falls (we caught an EMS run there). Very nice guy, super friendly, and very knowledgeable of the area. My wife and i even enjoyed a nice dinner on the Columbia River with him and his wife. Got to see the elusive Multnomah County TwinSonic as well!!
And met user Sirennet (Corey) in Tigard, OR. Again, super nice guy and showed me all of the nice, bright blinkies in their showroom. Got to check out the new Whelen Mini Legacy in person. Talk about burn retina-burning. Got to go upstairs and check out their studio(s) where they film. Fun stuff!
And, found out that I had previously met canthonysmith in the very town I work in, but didn't know he was an eLb member, until I suggested he join the site!

Finally met Tony (tcfd823) on his way through Michigan for a vacation, and he brought my (elb famous) Whelen 8000 that I bought from PIMP through him like 2 years ago!
Great guy, had lunch and BS'd for a couple hours! (We should start a GoFundMe to open a shop!)
Also met Jeff (jatchison) awhile back (and I didn't die! ) for a transaction
Hoping to meet up with BigWil in the next few months when he is down this way from CuhNuhDuh!

That Whelen 8000 originally came from Shawn L in the Portland, OR area and possibly belonged to grfd711 at one time.

I have known CajunBlitz for well over 1/2 my life. He was installing at a local LE supply shop BELSCO when I was a teenager going to his store just to oogle at the light display...which I still do, at his new company, lol.
We live in the same very small community where I am a LEO. Very knowledgable guy who does great work and is cool to hang out with, even when you are bothering him at work.

I vehemently deny any such accusations!!!!!!!
Glad you thought to post in here, I sure forgot about the thread!!
Just got back from IN to help out Kent and Nate with a backlog at Move Over Outfitters and let me tell you, these guys mean business! I'd be happy to help with them again whenever they need it! Top notch fellows with a top-notch facility!
Better late than never I guess....some I met several years ago. I may be forgetting a few-
Several members from Priority 1..worked there for a few months, so saw them all the time..
John Marcson 5+ times I believe
Hugh A a few times
BigWil
Dale Cohen, bought / traded parts a few times some years back
BIG D, lives not too far away, sold him parts
FreshDave04 (@ P1)
Tritonhoward64 (@ P1)

BlueLineEnt (I think? John?) @ P1
Mick (Firewolf)
Derek (AdaFire38?)

Kevin, aka 72copriv on ELB, contacted me through here about a week ago saying he was coming down to my neck of the woods to pick up his 1972 Buick Riveria from a local restoration shop and wanted to know if I could meet up with him. I gladly sacrificed an hour of sleep during the day before my night shift to see him and his sweet ride. He even had the Unity Uni-rack I helped him acquire from a fella down in Bismarck for his project. Certainly was good to finally meet him and see that unique sheriff car in person. Great guy and fun to talk shop with him for a little bit!
Here's a post from this thread on Kevin's ride and the lightbar:
You can also view more here as well. Just a cool prowler for the time! http://s612.photobucket.com/user/911disp/media/100_0601.jpg.html

I met brts96 today. Got breakfast and coffee and sold him a lot of old fire ads. Real nice guy
Thanks, tsquale. You're a really nice guy yourself. Pretty knowledgeable, too.
I'm gonna have some "friends" smuggle me north so I can meet boulder and his blue lights.
Met up with Clarence H and his son last night to buy a couple 911ep Galaxy's. Very nice guys. I had very briefly bumped in to Clarence a few years ago now in our past jobs but was actually able to have a conversation with him.
Met up with paul (chief1565) few hours ago to do a transaction.
Nice as hell guy, and his custom MX IS FREAKIN SWEET IN PERSON (even though one of the cudas was out).
And his dome cleaning is PHENOMENAL!!!!!! (Got a set for a fellow co-worker/firefighter)
