I owe so many people here thanks because they have been friends. Picking one is impossible. I have learned from everyone who posted. Some people shine because of their characters which show clearly in what they write. Others for their determination to set even the smallest things right. Others for their straight-forward honesty. Others for the love they have for their peers. Others for their humour and wit. Others for their thoughtfulness. Others for their erudition. Others for their outrageousness. Others for their fury, and others for their gentleness.

When I look at this place and the people on it, I am reminded of the saying by Will Rogers. I simply wish it read person instead of man. It was the times. These are more of the times, and I feel so fortunate to share part of them with many wonderful folks on the 'cat. May your personal angels (BillD, I heard that, so I have asked that mine keep an eye on you, too) continue to watch over all of you.

LH: You are something else, man, and you are rightfully in fine and fitting company with the guys and gals who post to this place.
