FOFC History: Who was TonyW?

Buccaneer · 03-16-2012, 10:39 PM

I was going through my old emails and saw one that I wrote to TonyW back the Fall of 2000. Apparently he was really depressed about a mistake he made (Sideline?) and I tried to cheer him up. I think he was the/a moderator but does anyone remember what the circumstances were?

Wasn't he the man before Ben?

That this thread even exists makes me a little sad.

Wasn't that Tony Wyss? That timeframe sounds close to the whole Dave Dial fiasco.

Yes, that was Tony Wyss.

Fall of 2000 would've been about 4-6 months after everything went down, depending on when in the fall the email conversation took place.

Senator · 03-16-2012, 11:08 PM

Yeah, Tony Wyss.

Sort of reminds me that the #1 trending Tweet the other day was "Who is this old dude Paul McCartney?" after the Grammy's.

Buccaneer · 03-16-2012, 11:12 PM

Yes, Tony Wyss, thanks. The date of the email looks to be about 2 weeks before the move.

Bucc, your memory is that deteriorating? I wasn't even around and I know who TonyW is!

Chief Rum · 03-17-2012, 02:16 PM

I remember Tony lived out here in Irvine, and he and I were supposed to meet up for drinks someday if we could arrange it. We never got around to it. But he was always a good dude. Hope he's doing well.

He got married a couple years ago. Has a son, lives with his family near Atlanta. I'd say life is treating him well these days.

3ric · 03-17-2012, 04:57 PM

Yeah, I remember Tony as a nice guy. Glad to hear he's doing well.

Buccaneer · 03-17-2012, 05:35 PM

Me too. Thanks Josh.

MIJB#19 · 03-18-2012, 11:59 AM

Completely agree with Bucc and 3ric there. Good to know that, Josh!

Why? Cuz it was Tony without the W? Or cuz the topic title should be "Who is Tony"?
