What is the oldest friendship on the ledge?

Of all the friendships formed ON the ledge, what is the longest-lived one? (but it has to still be a friendship--it can't have broken up in recent years)

since I never really thought about it until this question was posed.

Not many people from 2001 still around, and even less from the pre-2001 Ledge.

I've only been on since 2003

but I've made a few friends online and off and I still consider them friends.

How long (and with whom) is your longest ledgie friendship, David?

I still have several friends and acquaintances back from 1997, around the time of The Dance, which was when I first found the Penguin and the Ledge. Wow, it's been 9 years. Hard to believe.

I don't remember. Hayley, I think, or Les, neither of whom hangs out here much today. Our friendships go back probably to around 1998 from the ledge or maybe 1997. I can't remember the year.

Well, David, I just can't seem to shake ya. (not that I'd WANT to) We've been yapping about Fleetwood Mac since...Time or thereabouts, right? Or was it even BEFORE that?

Hayley's been around here since she switched from tricycle to bicycle.

Even met my beautiful WIFE here back in 1997.

Sadly, many of those who were around in the early days left and haven't come back. (or maybe they HAVE, under a different screen name without letting on of their previous identity)

Patti, were you friends with Ava back then?

Yes we go waaaay back. However we didn't become friends on the ledge, so that's why I didn't include you. I was thinking of people I met specifically on the ledge. Whereas you & I were both posting on amfm back pre-reunion days, along with sMac & Nepotist chris & remember that nice guy Chris Small who lived in Davis? Wonder what ever happened to him.

We weren't what I would call friends per se, but I did talk with her from time to time, yes.

Yeah...Chris Small...I remember him.

Oh, yeah, I remember MacDougall from the waaaay back, too...he had his own FMac website AND he was running that really cool Dave Mason site, as well.

I was lurking around here back in 1999 before I joined in 2001. I even had Lis (& Marty) print me up a bitchin 8x10 of Lindsey she took on The Dance tour.
