Daniel & Brandy
We've known Daniel for
years and years, and now we've
become lucky enough to get to
know Brandy! I guess you could
call Brandy a "recent
acquisition" :) of Daniel's,
considering the fact that they
started dating in 2006... and on
January 27, 2007, Daniel asked
Brandy to marry him, we
approved, and she said yes!
Daniel's still great to hang out
with and always brings the
Captain... but Brandy can tear
up a kitchen and cooks some
awesome stuff! Congrats guys,
we love ya both! |

Andy Andreatta
Recently nicknamed
"Naked Bald Guy", Andy's a blast
to hang out with... and he
definitely knows how to have a
good time. If you ever need to
make a few bucks quickly, play
poker with Andy! :) And be
sure to ask him about his idea
for a one-aisle supermarket. A
recent transplant from Tampa,
it's been a good thing for us
and Richmond! |

Gayle & Marilyn Brigman
Moving to Richmond, VA
in 2001, we couldn't have asked
for better neighbors... and
friends! These two are an
incredible couple! We consider
ourselves so lucky to have them
consider
us as their friends. This
picture was taken atop the
Stratosphere when the four of us
went to Las Vegas in 2002. We
love these guys! |
|
 |
Lisa & Aaron Persinger
... and their two
daughters, Cameron
and Britney, are great friends
and neighbors. Lisa spends
most of her time trying to keep
Aaron in line. :) |

Jimmy Erdakos
Jimmy's the son of one of my
best friends, and I was
fortunate enough to be asked to
be Jimmy's God Father. Jimmy
lives in Tampa, and I get
regular updates! He's into
everything a teenager should
be... and stays out of trouble
for the most part! :) He
better! |
|
 |
Harrison Fox
I
know I'll get complaints
about the picture, but we'll
deal with it! Harrison is
one of our great friends from
Tampa... part of our family.
We're hoping someday he'll come
visit. The three of us had
some memorable times together
(although many of those can't be
discussed!). We miss you!! |
|
 |
Jesse
Jesse's a young man we met here
in Richmond. Always
working, and playing hard
too(!), he recently joined the
U.S. Army. He's currently
completing training in
preparation for shipping out to
Iraq. He's quite a guy...
and it's been obvious that the
experience, although difficult,
has been a good choice for him! |
|
 |
Mike & Francine Bauer
Our neighbors in Tampa
for 5 wonderful years! We
scared the hell out of them at
first, but they caught on
quickly! No telling how many
hours we spent together on the
deck. No telling how many
bottles of wine were consumed!
We always had so much fun
together... and miss those
times! Who can forget Y2K New
Years' and the trampoline! We
officially claimed their 3 kids
as our own... and we're not
giving them back! |

Josh "Li'l Man" Bauer
Josh is now 17, chasing girls,
and dealing with school. He's
interested in culinary arts and
hopes to attend the Culinary
Institute of America (CIA) in
New York. He still has issues
dealing with flour, but it's
getting better! Josh always
hung out with me during football
games... especially Monday Night
Football. I remember how
excited he was when he was
finally old enough to stay up
for the whole game! Josh also
helped invent and encourage
"Pool-Ball"... we spent hours
upon hours playing... and I'm
still sore! |
|
 |
Steve Bauer
My buddy! Steve is now 21.
Unbelievable. He's got a great
(although slightly twisted - in
a good way) sense of humor.
This picture was taken when
Steve was 18 and came to visit
us in Richmond for a Bucs
party. We're really proud of
Steve! He's always got a place
in Richmond! |
|

Eryn Bauer
Watch out for this one! She's a
hottie! Cruising around in her
silver VW bug, Eryn's got the
looks and the talent! Not only
is she an extremely accomplished
musician, but she maintains a
4.8 GPA. She is currently
applying to some of the top
schools to continue her
education. |
|
 |
Alex and Wendy
Neighbors and friends from
Tampa, Wendy's always been a
blast to hang out with! So many
fun times! We watched her son
Alex grow up and turn into a
fine young man. So many
challenges, but Alex really
seems to get it! It's so cool
to see a young man so aware of
how important his Mom is... and
how much of a friend a parent
can be! We're very proud of
Alex (and his Mom too!). |
|
 |
Brian & LouAnn Erdakos
Unfortunately, we don't have a
digital picture of Brian and
LouAnn together! We're working
on that. Brian and LouAnn have
been great friends and still
live in the Tampa area. No
matter how busy all of our lives
get... we still manage to stay
in touch. Brian and LouAnn just
visited in October 2005... we
had a blast and we all picked up
right where we left off. |
|
 |
Travis & Gina Pointon
Another die-hard Bucs fan and
great friend, Travis was always
around for any Buccaneers event.
He's also a brand new Daddy!
Who'da thunk it! They're an
awesome family... and I'm very
proud that they consider us
friends. You know, Terry deals
with me... Gina deals with
Travis... they are special folks
to be able to handle us!
Meanwhile, Travis and I party
on!!! |
|
 |
Mike & John
Finally, a current
picture! Mike & John are
die-hard Panthers fans... and
aren't too fond of the Bucs...
so it makes for a fun time! We
first met at a bar right after
the Panthers shredded the Bucs a
couple of years ago. It was a
long night, but fun! These guys
are always fun to hang out
with... wish we could all get
together more often! |
|
 |
Tim & Carrie
We always have such a
good time together! From
Williamsburg to Applebee's (try
a Baltimore Zoo!) to playing
poker at home (KABOOM!), we can
make any situation a blast. We
keep trying to convince them to
move to VA... we'll see what
happens! They also have some of
the most creative costumes at
our parties... all hand-made!
They are also the Florida state
co-presidents of Beyonce's
national fan club in respect of
their favorite song of all
time... "Crazy in Love".

Brenda (a.k.a. ButtNip)
Not only is Brenda a
co-worker, and great friend who
welcomed us to Virginia... she
took it an extra step and bought
the house behind us! We're now
planning to move (hehe - just
kidding!). Brenda and Terry
love creating new products to
sell to the general public... be
very happy that none of these
have been released! |
|
 |
Chris & Joyce Lloyd
Chris and Mike grew up
in Maryland together... moved
away... and finally got back in
touch around 2000. Chris is a
pilot for American West.
Haven't happened to meet Joyce
yet... but someday! They
currently live in Arizona. |
|
 |
Cliff & Amy Messer
Cliff's the undisiputed
neighborhood leader of Halloween
decorations (yes, Cliff, you
win!). And somehow, Amy puts up
with it all... but we're still
trying to figure out where it
all gets stored! Cliff and
Amy's kids are awesome...
they're all a lot of fun! |
|
 |
Austin
One of our better neighborhood
skate-rats, Austin's usually
flying up and down the street.
He claims that his sister drives
him crazy, but we all know
better! |
|
 |
Alexis
She's so cute and
sweet... and never any trouble
at all! (Right, parents?!!)
She's a complete ball of
energy. I think she's capable
of getting anything she wants
with that smile and those eyes! |
|
 |
Jeff & Kelly Andes
They've been great neighbors and
have become great friends. And
they're always up for a party!
If you haven't, you need to see
these two dance!! |
|
 |
Julia!
Also known as "Ms. Jack", Julia
is a riot! She watches over our
neighborhood, knows everyone and
everything and is always looking
for a good time. Did I say
that?! She's such a neat
person, and always brings a
unique perspective to any
situation! This picture
was taken at Halloween 2007. |

Scott "Scotters" Ference
We've know Scott
forever I think! Originally
from FL, Scott now lives in
Seattle. We've had so many fun
times together, we don't know
where to start... like the time
we all got sandblasted on the
causeway (really, it was
funny!)... or the 3rd time his
car caught fire (or was it the
4th...?!). We miss Scott! He's
got a new boyfirned, but I don't
have a pic to post. Then again,
spreading your legs on bleachers
during a Little League Game...
you'll attract something! |
