Everyone, not having you here would be kind of like having a friend die. Cecil, all of us would be so much poorer for not having you here.
My mother has cancer and I'm here on the forum sporatically now. But ewest sent me a personal e-mail wishing me well and inquiring how things were going. Thank you. That's how I feel about so many people here. When Shorty and NEDOC post, it is like hearing from an old friend. When we were in Lincoln with my mother going through radiation therapy, Bruce Condello went out of his way to give me a place to get away from all of the stress of everything that was happening. These people are family now.
I like to fish with and visit with people that have very different views than I do. While the labels say that we should be at each other's throats, we quickly find that we agree on most things. In the areas we don't agree, we usually find that we are looking at things from a different vantage point. They see something we don't. We then get the benefit of seeing what we couldn't see from our own vantage point.
Thank you all for your views and for the great knowledge and experience you share with all of us.
