New Top Spinner in the making?
« on: December 04, 2010, 12:01:37 AM »
Exciting news today from a  coworker of mine.
During the Thanksgiving Holiday a coworkers son discovered finger tops, he is 9 years old.  His mom shared that news with me knowing my love of tops.  The next day I brought in a Saturno Jr. for her to give to him.  Well, tonight, after we left the office, she sent me this e-mail:

"When I arrived home this evening, I was greeted by my son who was excited because he had spun the top 4 times!

He has been trying to repeat the feat for the past hour, with some success. The advice and links you gave me are really helping. Thanks again!"

Man, am I excited!   ;D
Perhaps we have another dedicated Top Spinner in the making. 
I wish I could have been there tonight to see his enthusiasm and success!   ;D ;D ;D

(Thanks to you Chris Neff!  Much of the advice I passed on I learned from you.  8))

It sounds like you are slowly turning your area into a top haven!

  Yes Larry thanks for spreading the love!! Your enthusiasm and good spirit make the sport even more attractive to newcomers. I too got to work with a new spinner, I got to spend a little time (and regretfully only a little because I was running late for club) with a very promising new spinner "Free"  he is a very talented yoyo player and is very quickly taking to spin tops!! It is so exciting to see so many new players getting into the spintop world.

Huh….me????
Mike, Joe, now you have me blushing, (as I try to go invisible).
Thank you for your very kind words.

I can't do what you guys and gals do...you members are all making it happen every day in so many ways.
I'm out here trying to make up for a lapse of 50 years of not spinning...I grope, I'm awkward...there is so much for me to learn...so many years to catch up on.
But, EVERY MOMENT IS SHEER JOY for me!

The support, advice,  sharing and giving of ALL MEMBERS, via these postings and PM’s, make me so very proud to be part of this Community!

You folks are the most awesome collection of GOOD HUMAN BEINGS I have ever met in my life!

ta0, Thank you for creating and hosting this wonderful “Haven” for the Sport, the Science, the Art, the Hobby we all love!
