smokeybandit Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Great, now we'll have to rely on twangster to interpret anything Matt says since he'll be required to speak in Pinnaclese among us peons. I think they call it Pin Latin. Congrats Matt, hell of an accomplishment. calvink669, AlmondFarmer, WAAAYTOOO and 19 others 3 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 CONGRATS to this amazing accomplishment…what a fun journey for you and your family! It’s so great living through all the great stories on this blog and we have Matt to thank for that! May you enjoy your new status for years to come! If I had only won my Brilliance of the Seas cruise when I was 32 instead of 62 perhaps I could be in the running for this goal? That cruise allowed my husband to realize cruising is doable as long as he wears a patch! My goal at this point is to reach Diamond before I hit 70…even Diamond + doesn’t look like it will happen . But a girl can dream! ScottD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it's HOSH-berg, not HOKE- or HOCK- Technically, it's pronounced with a hard “ch” as the English “kh”, similar to the famous phrase "ich bin ein berliner" I gave up a long time ago trying to pronounce my name correctly for Americans, or to expect them to say it correctly. Easier to say, spell, and read back the way I say it now. More importantly, thank you all!
