by Purdy1 As most of you know, Outer Worlds is a second home to many people. We have all developed
unique relationships and some very dear friends in a way that would have been foreign to many of us just a few short years ago. Unlike pen pals, we meet, chat and visit weekly, if not daily. Dreams, aspirations and
ideas are shared, as is laughter, joys and sorrows.I began my journey into the realm of 3D Virtual Reality back in June of ’97. Funny, it was a good friend two blocks up the street that introduced me to this media. I
talk to him online as often as I do in RL – go figure. I remember the first few people I met online – Koolhass, FOI, Wolverine, Aurexa, SeeRay and Lilli. Before I knew it, I was meeting wonderful people from all over
the world! You know who you are and WOW! You are all incredible people and I cherish each and every one of you. Now as for snuffy13 and Little Cupid… For those of you that haven’t had the pleasure, let me tell you
a few things about these two wonderful people. Snuffy13 is a kind and patient soul from Rochester, New York. I first met him in the Tiki Bar in Imagica. He was fairly quiet at first – perhaps getting acquainted with
all the lovely ladies while sipping on a Ginger Brandy, or maybe envisioning what he was going to build next. I had the pleasure of helping snuffy search for obscure objects for the castle he built in Imagica. He has
since built an array of different landscapes – from Elf World in Outer Worlds to castles, underwater “Atlantis” themes, caverns and taverns in AWU. snuffy is always there to lend an ear and help out who he can.
Unfortunately, he was away from us on a few occasions due to health and yep, a computer crash and we all missed him dearly. With the help of many OW citizens, a computer was built and shipped to him! Welcome back snuffy!
As for Little Cupid, she is an energetic, vibrant lady from New Zealand who has given us all so much with her words of wisdom and creativity with “Entertainment Downunder”. Between the time zones and all the arrows
that Cupid sends out, I don’t know how she manages to stay so organized with all of her online responsibilities – and when she was offline due to moving and other events we missed her dearly. What the heck would all of
us nuts do without you? WooooHoooo and Welcome Back Cupid!!! You go Girl! These two very special people from opposite ends of the globe have each touched our hearts in many ways and when they were absent from Outer
Worlds, we really missed their presence. In their absence, they managed to give of themselves yet again. Because we missed their company so much, a very special fund called Outer Worlds Out Reach evolved. This fund is
there for all that need it. Love and hugs, Purdy1 a.k.a. Debbie Crookes |
