Every time I think it all has been said, there you 'Catters go again. Roger, we are brothers under it all. You made me feel the feelings of that gathering, as if I were there. And I appreciate the invite, I had a great time.

Alice, God bless you for being a part of our town. You cannot imagine the mental images I had, and the thoughts as I imagined your day and your thoughts. You have been such a source of good feeling in our community here, and I always look forward to your thread comments. May yuour son grow to be just like you. We could use a men like that. And, you have a great web page. I especially like the diary.

Skarpi, you are a window on another culture, and I find the mix of Ireland/Iceland to be fascinating. I hope you will take the time to tell us more about the 13 Santa's and their names and meanings.

My treasured friend, Barbara, why does it not surprise that you would be off singing for others on Christmas. You are a pearl of great worth, but you already know that I think that of you. You bless us with your presence.

Alan, you are a good friend, but why do you persist in drinking that "swill" when Guinness is available? ****LOL****. Thanks for all your sharing of your knowledge my friend. You know what I am talking about. You are never afraid to help and I am grateful.

And to all of you Mudcatters, friends who are and friends who will be, let us continue to improve our haven in '99. We have something special here, and that is due to all of you.

All the best,

Mick Lane
