worldwide friendships thru our chat line

This past weekend was a very special time for me.
For years I have chatted on and off the line with B. Scott Gould from holland. We have developed a wonderful friendship over the years. Something that is interesting since we never met....until this saturday.
He was stateside visiting relatives and we made arraingements to spend the day at what else, a koi show! We had a chance to get to know each other on more of a face to face basis and I got a chance to run him over to another chat line friend who was in the japanese koi import business so that they could meet, having also chatted over the years.
I think the world is a better place with chances for all of us to grow closer thru communication. Just think, it was all started 200 years ago in an island nation with a food fish that developed color....and a colony that revolted from the mother country that spawned the likes of Bill Gates and Paul Allen that brought the world a whole lot closer......and to bring it all back full circle, our american chat line host in japan to bring us the KB chat line.

"who'd of thunk!"....
