********My thanks to you, Jim, for keeping the doors open to this place I’ve called my home on the internet for so many years. And I thank you, Amy, and all those who contribute each day to FR. You all make FR what it is and I am grateful to be a small part of the FreeRepublic community*************

Yeah—what she said!

Three years?! Doesn’t seem possible! Thanks, all. And Thank You Amy for noticing! And for the beautiful bouquet!

My dad introduced me/got me hooked to FR. One of the first articles I remember reading was something about a steamboat that had sunk in the Missouri and was completely preserved in the silty mud.

"My dad introduced me/got me hooked to FR"

That is really interesting .... what is your Dad's screen name?

Jim talked about the internet (and the FR Forum) for years ... anytime I saw him, it seemed that was all he talked about. :)
My son got me hooked. He would read and quote articles to me. : ^)

I finally started lurking. After more than a year, I was forced to register so I could respond to a couple of posts. : ^ )
