Hello everyone.

I have been a member of this forum since sometime in 1999. For the past 10 years, I have been privileged to serve in the capacity of Forums Administrator. During that time, I have seen probably 100 companies, and thousands of members come and go, been loved and hated, lol, but that came with the job. I have been honored to have approximately 25 different moderators share their talents, and have watched this forum grow from a few hundred members, to over 18,000.

But , things change, and I now have 6 family members living with me..including kids, inlaw, and 2 beautiful 4 year old grand daughters.

yeah, that empty nest syndrome?? got over it.... they return. As of July 1, I will stepping down as Forums Administrator. I have returned to the world of suits and benefits for a while. I have turned in the keys to my office in the ivory tower, and bequeathed my economy sized bottle of Advil, and my Golden Hammer to my successor.



Thank you all for your participation over the years, and for making this forum what it is today.. Thank you for your understanding when I had to wield the hammer! There's been a few bumps, but it's never been boring!



Thank you all,


Dale

Now that you've passed the baton you can rouse the rabble around here. Good luck in everything and don't be a stranger around here just because you aren't stuck babysitting anymore.

Best of luck to you Dale. Sounds like there will never be a dull moment at your house. Do the young ones know how to play the quiet game? Yeah... I didn't think so.

Wow! Over 10 years of service...Truly honorable. Thank you Dale!

Enjoy your new transitions and those beautiful little ones.

Wait.. No, you're not going to step out quietly, you're going out with a big bang brother, lol.



And of course.....more lines on the face are worth it, especially when they came from the family (Lol, I might get your last hammer for this post).

Dream On......Dreamer:)

Dale: thank you for showing how a big bearded long haired tattooed guy could actually be a fair minded family oriented Christian [in the best sense of that word] who really just wants everyone to get along. I might not have have believed it if I hadn't met you, and I'm glad you've proven so many stereotyped wrong, lol.
You will be missed, here, but those granddaughters? They win! As it should be.

Dale I agree with Cheri you have been more then fair when I know you were upset and you have been a great influence on all of us. I have learned a lot from you and I wish you the best in your next adventures.
