My first friend in TV was someone who I worked with in CT before he retired. He never mentioned TV prior to moving there but invited me down for a visit.
I planned a LSV and I haven't been the same since.
Unfortunately, he passed away last year. I will be forever grateful for his introducing me to TV. Hopefully, I will be there soon and become a frog.
My first TOTV friend was Gracie as she sent me a friend invitation and I am so honored to be her friend.
Hugs Gracie
