Jeff Collerson– Terrific pic of Siddy & his late wife. Sid is truly one of the great characters of our sport. Have never met a more enthusiastic participant. He could start and argument in an empty house (I’ve had plenty with him, mainly over politics) but I will always love him (think he says the same about me).
Sid Swain– Jeff Collerson sure as jeff
Patrick Parrelli- What about me u two
Jeff Collerson– Patrick Parrelli Maybe Siddy beats you for enthusiasm by a half head but he gets into more blues
Melinda Finn– Absolutely awesome
