Yes, met 32 chatters, face to face and took them all to Jack's Ridge for dinner, along with a couple of Filipino friends. I was a Boy Scout on that trip, was going to propose to my now wife at the...

I met 40+ CB Chatters in Davao and more elsewhere and only found maybe 2 that (if I had to) that I might classify as scammers. One was already engaged and was trying to cut me out from the pack for...
