.......yesterday, & the post master & i were having a good old chat about nothing in general (as usual). We got onto the subject of astronomy somehow, & he happened to mention he was at some guys place one night several years ago looking thru this guys telescope while they were all having a BBQ. Naturally I pricked my ears up & asked him plenty of questions about the night, the telescope/where the owner lives, etc etc etc!! The post master gave me a name & a place, so I went & called on this guy at his place of business today.
Normally to 'drop' in on someone youv'e never met & quiz them out on something can be classified as 'kinda weird' but in my small town (population of 850) it's not 'weird' at all.
Turns out we kind of knew each other....seen each other about etc etc.
To cut a long story short, he doesn't seem to be all THAT into astronomy like I am. When I asked what kind/size of telescope etc, he said he didn't really know?? (go fiqure) When I told him all about what I was upto & my scopes blah blah, his jaw dropped a fair bit & his eyes twinkled.....so I can tell from that I did spark some further interest. We exchanged phone # & addresses
and I told him I'd ring him when I was setup on a good night, & he can come around for a session if he wanted. From what I can gather, I think he must own a small dia. refractor, probably a tasco at a guess, lol. This dudes eyes will pop if he has a gander thru my scopes compared to a lil' tasco?!
Anyhow, it was good to actually meet another person semi-into astronomy in the flesh for a change, rather than in a forum
The only other person I know lives up the road 20 kms away (rich farmer) who owns a 16" meade SCT in an observatory, whom I have met, but nothing has really eventuated from that as yet, as in him visiting me or vice versa.
Sounds like you got his ears pricked up so i hope it all works out with some good viewing for you both. 
for the time being.. 
I like the laid back feeling and giving people the nod in a small community where it's nice and friendly.
