I’ve known our next inductee since the ’80s, but an early part of the 2000s working at the same organisation. Often bump into Luke around the traps, but our chance meeting on a Royal Caribbean cruise a few years ago …

Induction – Terry #129
Tonight’s ferry trip was not Terry’s first rodeo. A long time insular peninsula dweller and workmate of #1 and #3, plenty of froth has been blown off more than a couple over the years with this bloke. The #worldsbestcommute threw …

Induction – Rodney #93
This was a very special induction. Rodney has enjoyed living in Australia for a few years, but as this post goes up – he will be jetting home to Philadelphia. For his last night in Oz, Rodney specifically requested a …
