Button-n-String was where I first learned how to do anything more than just throw the top to the floor. What a thrill it was to go on there and hear of the amazing exploits of those accomplished spinners. I dreamed of one day being able to just do a couple tricks. It was thanks to their excitement and tips that I learned way more than I ever thought I would in those first few years. I think it was also on that forum where we started talking about having a festival here in Miamisburg.
I, too, am sad about Richard Williams passing. Peace and condolences to all his friends and family.
I vote that this thread be moved to the top spinning section of the board!

Note from admin: Spinningray originally posted this on the spinning section, where it probably rightly belongs. But I moved it here because of its sadness. I imagine most people come to the forum to get away from the troubles of daily life by entertaining their favorite toy and I did not want this to be the first thing they see. Anyways, it will take longer for the thread to be buried by other topics here.
