Wild Bill Wilder Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Well, gentlemen and ladies, get my rocking chair ready! I received word tonight that my Grandaughter Amber just had her first baby. That means now I am a Great-Grandfather twice over, with two beautiful Grandsons, Jeremy (1 year old) and Brandon (2 days old). Madmatt will cremate me alive for this, but you only live once and I got less time than he does, all things considered :eek: Let's see, six kids, 13 grandkids and now ...unbelievable! Wow, that is hard to believe. Its going to seriously hurt my flirting when I confess I am a Great Grandfather! I'm old, Gaming buddies! Old! (But you'd never know it if you were around me ). I'm fighting it till its over...burn out, not rust out...that is my motto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergeltungswaffe Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 God bless your whole clan, Bill. I can just imagine holidays now as Wild Bill, patriarch, enters the dining room to the sound of the Panzerlied, with four generations of Wilders bowing low before the King!

Wild Bill Wilder Posted December 6, 2001 Author Share Posted December 6, 2001 Many thanks to all you great gamers. I am just very glad I've lasted this long to come to know and enjoy such fine companionship in the hobby from folks all over the world. You are a grand bunch of guys! I'll give little Brandon a wargamer hug soon as I get to see him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CombinedArms Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 I just noticed from his bio at the Scenario Depot that Wild Bill is just 64 years old. Making it to great-grandfather status at that comparatively spry age is a bit of a feat in my book. Just one of the many ways in which WBW is remarkable. The Scen Depot bio is well worth reading for all you WBW fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 My son just become 1 year old,and when I put on the computer he looks up. When he hears the sound of the Combat mission cd he begins to smile,he does that with Tacops too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted December 16, 2001 Author Share Posted December 16, 2001 You are right, CA! I got an early start, didn't watch a lot of TV and was busy making babies. My oldest son is almost 47! That is frightening! My youngest, the last of six (I think ) is 27.So cherish all those memories, Stoffel. I know I do! Today the only "creating" I do is wargaming and trying to keep up with a burgeoning family tree. My thanks to all of you for your heartfelt support, your good constructive criticism and the help in testing that so many have given. One thing about it - we ain't done yet! We still have CMBB to look forward to and you guys are gonna simply flip out when you see what is coming! Bigger, better, and even more fun than CMBO! The happiest of times in thie Holiday Season for so many of you. Be good to those you love and be good to yourselves! Nothing wrong with that!
