I don't recall it being confidential, and I thought the original invitation to the meeting was posted on Net54 by Jim. And I think he said that anyone who wanted was welcome to come. Does anybody remember otherwise? It was twelve years ago and I'm at the point where I do forget things.

I could be forgetting as well.

Maybe you can search it? I'm disappointed that I can't remember the details beyond the pizza.

Maybe I can jog your memory,

Pepperoni or Sausage?

Thick or Thin crust?

White or Red sauce?

I remember how happy i was when USA today came out and you get could more info on other teams besides your home team. I think Frank Deford also had a newspaper or something that tried that.

Now i surprised to learn that USA today is still in business...maybe its thriving who knows but i didnt even know they still in business until saw this thread

Regular Neopolitan, no toppings that I can recall (although I can't rule out pepperoni.)

I could make a joke asking whether certain people there trimmed their slices, but never mind.

I did a search for Lehman (location of the meeting) and nothing relevant came up that I could see. Oh well.

Here's an interesting thread from the past, that includes many relevant people in the recent discussion. Page three gets more focused on doctoring.

Barry, whether the meeting was intended to be confidential or not, I am deeply disappointed that you did not inform this forum that Al does not like the Beatles. That's the kind of info that people ought to know. I just consigned a couple of items to him, and now I have to re-think things. Geez, you think you know somebody.

If Al was half my size, instead of twice my size, we would have had a different outcome.

I went to my old desk calendars and under December 12, 2007 it reads "Net54 dinner, 350 Seventh Avenue." Would that be it?
