Matt McDowell said… Hey Dave, I moved out of Hyattsville Christmas of 2002. Been in SC ever since. I used to be able to get back fairly often, but then marriage and kids happened. I was up there in August 2010 for a few days. I am trying to get up their for Fire/Expo this year but we'll see.
If I can make it up there, We should hook up and talk shop. Stay SAFE.
