Trivia question of the day

Post by RAM »

Whatever became of Craig Barber? Last word I had he was logging a hundred hours a month in stop and go traffic between Athens and Cumming Georgia (backs up for miles) visiting the new grandson. Is he still stuck there in his green pickuop at the intersection of University Parkway and Collins Road? Someone should try to get food, water, and gas to him! Bad Bob

I believe he's on the Senior Champion's Tour...or was that Miller Stadler?

I believe the mystery reel professor is trying to figure out how to sink an aircraft carrier off the coast of Florida for a fishing reef, without causing too much environmental damage.

However, it is a possibility that Craig Barber never did exist. :wink:

Met Craig at Dowagiac Nationals several yr ago where he presented his Pflueger talk. He was going to make a copy for a couple of us of something - guess I forgot what, anyway. Since were going back to Dowagiac next year, maybe he will just surprise us and be there with that paper!

I was at the Lousiville national and did a transit of the room with Craig, chatting the whole time. Later, a bunch of people came up and asked why i was talking to myself...

Was it a ghost? Was it reel?

Craig Barber? Are you sure there is such a person? As the story goes mhe has been spotted in the southern swamps of Georiga as well as in the red sand hills in the north. As a famous quote goes, "How can you be two places at once when you aren't anywhere at all"? When you see Craig Barber, it is like looking at the shadows on the moon. Some see a man's face while other's see a rabbit. I just never have seen Craig Barber, at least when I am sober!
