It was 22 years ago next week that Woody Coffee and a few volunteers kicked this forum into gear.

RIP Woody Coffee and thanks for everything you did. Also thanks to GON for keeping us fed and rolling now.

RIP Woody Coffee .... it has been 1 year.....2 years

It was Jan 24, 2009 when our founder and friend Woody Cofffee left us. But in some ways it seems like he is still here. He is the one who started this campfire that almost 50,000 folks have sat around since that day in March 2001. I miss him and I am sure many of you do as well. Soon after...

For those who never got the chance to meet him in person, you missed out. Super nice guy. It was a great time going to his club in the off season to hunt hogs. I wish he could see what this place has accomplished.

 

[Duff]

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been that long since Woody passed. And I agree toliver, a true southern gentleman Mr Woodrow was.

 

[JustUs4All]

My hat will always be off to Mr, Woody.

22 years - that means I'm still a relative newcomer here.

 

[Hoss]

Wasn’t here for the beginning, but got here shortly after things got started. Great group of folks on here and I’ve had the opportunity to meet several and there are a lot more that I would like to meet. Woody brought a lot of folks together.

I think we should have a get-together in Woody's honor.
Sponsored by GON, maybe?

 

[fflintlock]

I joined in 2005 and mostly just lurked around. This is the only social media website that I'm apart of today. This is the longest lasting and bestest of them all.
Happy birthday campfire folks !
And, thank you Woody for starting this.

Think that’s a fine idea. I haven’t been to one in a lot of years. now that I’m retired maybe I can manage to make it.
I did run across some photos from 2004 (I think) get together. I work on posting some of em.

 

[crackerdave]

Also,a salute to the mods and admins that keep this forum true to Woody's vision.
Family friendly.

 

[kmckinnie]

Just thinking back on the time I have been here to enjoy this forum. Thankyou Mr. Woody !

 

[trad bow]

It’s been a great site since way before I joined. Thanks to everyone that keeps this place going.

 

[basstrkr]

Thanks to all the Woodys.

In the quandary of lifes past , present and future distractions
there are those who would say this place is "useless", them not knowing that useless was the badge of honor we all endeavored to accomplish!

 

[Silver Britches]

Been an enjoyable site for me. Rarely visit any other hunting-related site. In fact, I visit this site more than any other Website. There’s some fine members around here. And I want to thank the staff who have kept it going, and to the great mods for keeping us all in line. Trust me, I know how much babysitting y’all have to do each day. Y’all have my respect. Each and everyone of you.

Hope all of us are around to celebrate another 22 years.

Thank you, Woody!
