VD,
though we have met only briefly i hate to have missed this yr as well. i was looking so forward to meeting you, judge, george jefferson and seeing some old friends again, coach lt, dsethi, qleap, wil, mr leasure, gravy just among a few that come to mind. this thing we do and this place we share are special to me, that may sound lame to some but fcuk it i don't care. i've made some special freinds here and know without a doubt that if i'm ever in a position of need someone here can and will help without hesitation. i hope the coming yr is enjoyable for all and if we can remember to not take ourselves too seriously we will probably see each other sooner rather than later. i appreciate all VD and the other senior members of our community provide to this board and am proud to be a member here, it's gentlemen like these that make this a special place.
