Hi From England

[paddy]

I assume its late over where you are but I would just like to say Hi from a massive Carpenters fan in Bury, Lancashire, England.
I signed up to Rick's e-mails some time ago but have just created an account for the forum & hope to hold continuing correspondence with all you fans in America obviously in different time zones.
I am 45 & my father for his sins brought me up as a Carpenters fan in the 1970's & still have the front page of the English national papers from the day Karen died.
I am divorced now but I have kept my two children aged 12 & 16 boy & girl. The girl has followed in my footsteps & become an avid Carpenters fan which in this day & age is unbelievable.
Enough of me.

Welcome, Paddy, to the forum. I think it is quite safe to say you have landed among some of the Carpenters' biggest and best fans.
The forum has a lot to offer ... and plenty to read about. Please join in any and all discussions we have going on OR you can create new topics for us to talk about. I'm looking forward to hearing your 'voice' in all things Carpenters.

A huge welcome, Paddy. We have many from your side of the pond. Our forum member "Prisoner Walking" is, in fact, from London, and there are more. And yes, there is a 6 hour difference between us. It's later over here - so as I write at 10 p.m. CST Tuesday evening here in Missouri, it's 4 a.m. Wednesday morning across the pond.

Wisejester7 is absolutely correct in the fact that you have found yourself amongst many who are die-hard Carpenters fans and who enjoy all things Carpenters. We have lively discussions, and everyone is free to share their opinions. There are many pages here to read through, and there are many areas of the forum and website to participate in.

Welcome! Hoping we DO, indeed, hear a lot from you, good sir.
Cheers!
Tim
