Name Five FTers you would like to meet...
Every year since I've joined the FT community, I made a list of five people who I wanted to meet for that year. I've always reached my goal. 
But here it is, JUNE! I haven't made my list, much less met anyone, since my travel has been cut drastically. I've asked fellow FTers about who they would like to meet, and have gotten answers like geo1004, kokonutz and mauld.
So WHO would you like to meet, and have you met your goal? This is in view of the Chicago DO that I'm missing, and wishing I were there. Now this is not a popularity contest! It may be someone you've corresponded with in personal email, a chat buddy, or a witty poster. It's so hard to narrow it down to FIVE.

When I came up with this list, I was delighted to realize how many people I've met who would have been on my list just a year ago.

I think it says in the Bible that if Arturo ever meets himself the world will come to an end.
Or maybe it was Lord of the Rings.</font>

"...It's so hard to narrow it down to FIVE..."
Absolutely! It's nearly impossibe for me. I've met many, many FT'ers, at various places over these years, including Linda thankfully, and it's my hope to actually meet 'em all some time!

My list is really down to just one - that cute Keanu guy that stars in those Matrix movies.
So, if I knew his FT handle, or even if he was an FTer, I defintely would list it!
