WCollins - yes, he is very well known on the forums, and has fronted the band at many a GatBash in the past. I believe he's actually going to be sitting in the right-hand seat of the jet that's been chartered for the bash. (And Hamrah in the left, I think? I'm sure there are details somewhere in the bashes forum, anyway.)
I haven't had the chance to chat to him at the couple of GatBashes that I've been to - but I'm sure that he wouldn't hold something that happened 30 years ago against you if the roles were reversed!
