JPetroniA Re-Introduction and good to be back
Hello All,
It has been many years since I posted anything, life just takes over sometimes I guess. I had to start a new account, I previously logged in as JPaul but had to start a new account and have been catching up on old threads and such and it is good to see that a lot of the old users that I am familiar with are still here and also sad to see that some have also left us for a better place. I just wanted to say hello and look forward to being able to start participating again with a great group of people of like mind. Where I live in central California there are not to many folks that I know who are interested in the whole African hunting scene and of course the rifles etc.that go along with that. it is good to see that after all these years that our host is still providing a forum for all of us to communicate and debate,discuss the thing that gives all of us a sort of common bond. A truly generous thing for Him to do for so many years. It is good to be back.
Sincerely
John

JPetroniHi Tim, thank you, good to see you’re still on the board. Been a long time. Always enjoyed your perspectives. Can’t believe how large the group has become over the years, a wonderful thing. Looking forward to participating again.
I was looking at my old post and cannot believe a decade has passed.
All the best
John
