<div>Hi Folks!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>According to my records, the mouse pads were made in 1999 primarily by Ruben Arellano (one of the very first Groop members who used to keep a “Sergiography” trying compile everything that Sergio ever did, but who has dropped out of sight) and Nate Piekos
(at one point the most active Groopie and also a self publishing comic book creator who has gone on to greater glories as a font creator and writer for actual comic book publishers!) </div>
<div><font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div>I’m really curious to know who the one on ebay belonged to. I’ll write to the seller and let you know what I find out. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And yes, Shane, I know life happens. (I just wish we could have gotten together last year when I was in North Hollywood) This is pretty much the stinkyest, suckyest time of year for me. I have to deal with the 3 “Evil L’s:” Legislators, Lawyers, and
Lobbyists. May Groo visit them all!! And after the snow and ice storm, my little acre looks like Groo visited me! </div>

<div>Can’t wait for Groo v. Conan. Take care all –Gary G. </div>

<div><font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;">We had these made in the late 90s right? (I can't honestly recall who </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;">headed up the initiative for them). I have at least one in my </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;">collection, but I think I might have 2-4. I'd have to look.</span></font></div>

<div><font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;">Gary is going to yell at me when he see's this email(first one in about </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;">7+ years). (Yes Gary, I haven't forgotten. Life happened, that's all. It </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Consolas" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;">will be soon. I promise) :)</span></font></div>
