In my case, it worked out the opposite way. It was Terri Schiavo's plight that brought me back to FR.
I drifted away after Ronald Reagan died. It didn't have anything to do with FR, I was just depressed and fell out of touch for a while. Terri brought me back.
Well, welcome back! Glad to have someone of your caliber on board, willing to work, willing to get the word out, willing to make phone calls and e-mails, etc. It will take a number of us to waken from complacenecy to get this back on track. I, for one, admit that I was asleep until Terri woke me up, and I apologize for being complacent before. But no longer!
How about that ... a success story. Glad you decided to come back.
