I've been here a long time! I've done my best to contribute both in terms of dollars and effort. Sometimes I've kind of been on the periphery of the forefront and other times you couldn't find me if you sent out a search party!

Whenever I'm tempted to believe that I'm too important around here or that I really matter I remember an old phrase from my swim team coach:

Stick your hand in that pool of water! Pull it out! Did it leave a hole? That's how much you're needed around here.

Harsh words for an eleven year old but there's more than a few people who have needed to be reminded of it from time to time - probably even me!

I recommend that phrase to you and your moderator board.

Keep up the great work!

Regards,

TS

Been lots of hands in the water here too!
