Big Pow
Wow
Big Success
Wednesday
13 March 02
The Fayh Bahrna (Good Friend) Society met for the first time at
Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant in the Merritt Square Mall at 1130.
Present was Dick, Ed, Elliott, and Carl.
Dick arrived at Carl's QTH shortly before eleven, just as Carl
finished calling Ed, and inviting him at the last minute. Ed was
surprised, and jumped on the invitation.

Fayh Bahrna Greeting
Initiated
With all members arriving in front of Ruby Tuesday's just about
on time at 1130, the official Fayh Bahrna greeting was initiated,
Carl demonstrating the proper bow, and phonetics. All
members followed through, and then, not having seen each other in
some time, shook hands in the tradional Western fashion, and entered
the joint...Carl holding the door.
Third Attempt
Successful
At first we were ushered to a booth, but finding that confining,
we requested a regular table, but there it was discovered a rapid
exit could not be executed if needed...the "rapid exit" requirement
never fully explained, so a third table was requested, which seemed
to satisfy all contingencies.
Finally
Settled
Our waitress - Colleen, seeing us finally content, issued each
of us a giant menu, the size of which had us laughing, and
hiding from each other. We eventually did get our orders in, and
stressing to our waitress to bring the martinis first...Carl's
martinis...that is.
Needless to say, the conversation was non-stop, mostly about
things in the past...old sea-stories. Of course, when we brought the
waitress - Colleen into the conversations, thanks to Ed, the old
sea-stories ended.

Camera
Time
Then the camera came out...Dick's camera - his trusty Kodak-260,
and we took some photos to preserve the
moment.

Revival
Talk
Mention was made of reviving the MMMM, meeting somewhere in
Cocoa that Ed knew of that was nice, had bar, and was reasonable.
Consensus was that it was worth looking into, and Ed was,
without ceremony, appointed "The Man In Complete Charge".
It was also mentioned that he should establish himself back into
the loop, and was queried whether he was still online, to which he
answered, saying he was.
Carl volunteered to try, and see if Ed would respond to
email...it all hangs on this at the moment.
Adjournment
With the bill paid,
and goodbyes made to our excellent, and cheerful waitress, the gang
mustered out front of the restaurant for last minute goodbyes, and
especially to Elliott who is leaving for Oregon within the
week.
The time noted was 1330.
