[Pharmboy]

Dear FRiends:
After more than ten years, I am turning over the reins of the RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington Ping list to afraidfortherepublic. I have enjoyed bringing these posts to all of you over the years, and have not lost one iota of passion for the Founders and the story of the origins of this, the greatest country that ever was and ever will be. I assure you I have learned more from the people here than I have ever been able to teach.

At this point, however, I will need to devote more time to my medical practices and will not be able to devote the time needed to cover this responsibility. I will be around, but not quite as active.

And thank you Ezekiel for the post, Ditto for the ping and afraidfortherepublic for agreeing to the task. She will do wonderfully, I am sure!.

And finally, Scott Walker in 2016!!

Thank you so much for your volunteer efforts over the years.

I know we probably took you for granted and just enjoyed the feast of information that you placed before us without thinking about the work and time you put into it.

It’s great that the tradition will go forward, but like the founders of the Republic, you started something great and will be remembered for it.

Thank you, Pharmboy, for the list and the pings of interest!

And welcome to afraidfortherepublic, keep ‘er going!

Well, you had a very good run

We thank you immensely for your efforts. Efforts such as yours on FRee Republic educate us on several subjects and are a true blessing

Thank you for all your effort and I wish you well in your future endeavors. Welcome afraidfortherepublic.

Perhaps, on 6 Jan, when opening the capsule there will be some wisdom and courage released from our Founding Fathers.

Bravo, you’ve done a great job!

[Ezekiel]

All the best success to you, Pharmboy. I have always gotten a kick out of your FReep name, BTW. Better living through chemicals! :)

And how oblivious have I been, to have overlooked the existence of your ping list.

Please add me, afraidfortherepublic.

Happy New Year!

You have so enlightened me. I always read with eagerness your ping. I think you even sent me a recipe for a George Washington Punch...it was delicious.

With deep appreciation, thank you.

Pharmboy, thank you for tending to your ping list. I haven't always responded to the pings, but I have enjoyed much of the information presented.

It has been almost 15 years since a small group of FReepers gathered in NYC to see The Patriot. So much has happened and changed since then.

Best wishes for your endeavors in 2015. Happy New Year!
