Just curious about something. First off, I know that I could do a search to find the answer but in all honesty I am just too lazy to do it. In the back of my mind, I seem to remember that the Original Mascot that I went to Germany to get got retired because it had so many names on it that there wasn't any room for more, so they retired it and made a 2nd one. Am I correct? thanks.

So where is the final resting place of the Mascot with no room left for more names? and where should the final resting place be?

I did a search for you in this thread called, Where is the mascot now? I found these replies, #962,971 and 974 for you to read. Unless something has changed since then, the Original Mascot should be at HDforums HQ in El Segundo. Hope this answers your questions.

Glad to hear that you were finally able to make contact with him and the Mascot might get back to doing what it was supposed to do and not just stagnating someplace.

Eve - Thanks for chasing this down. See post #6 on this thread:

New Mascot thread

Trying to connect you with rjjj629. Looks like he is only 20 miles from Columbus and could be the hand off.
