i had dave p. as a dispatch, who was a really solid guy. there were some other good guys there, too. i know sam was also there, but i have not seen him posting in a while...keith might also have some insights. i still get my messenger discount on my personal account i have with them.

curious if anyone knows mars or simone, and, if so, how they are doing?
I never worked at the Mess for the reasons 2wheels mentioned. A number of years ago the owner actually sent out anti-abortion literature with his billings! You could certainly do worse from a $ standpoint tho.

I still see Mars on the road...still at the Mess. Simone is in her 3rd year at OCAD...doing very well.
