[AT] What Year?

[Phil Auten]

I remember meeting you at the dinner/auction that year, Farmer. It was 
my first year and I believe it was '98. That year my late wife Pat and I 
drove up and went all over the place, including up into Canada briefly. 
The next year, I picked up HL Staples and camped in the back seat of my 
truck. Good times both.
