Randy Petersen, for graciously hosting this board and picking up the check at dinner on more than one occasion, including my first ever FlyerTalk dinner.
Catman, for meeting me at EWR over a connection and taking me to a great restaurant in downtown Newark.
People that have hosted FlyerTalk events I've been a guest at, like Punki, Catman, flyme2, and squeakr.
A very generous soul who wishes to remain anonymous, who gave me several upgrades on Alaska.
L'etoile, who took me out for a great day on San Francisco Bay on her sailboat.
