JanK Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Such an honor -- and given to someone worthy of it!Peter, sir, (or should that be Sir Peter?), your dedication to the hobby has been proven time and again. It's only fitting that you be sentenced, um, sorry, appointed to the Board. And your youth (relatively speaking) and vitality are bound to shake up a few of the more seasoned Board members -- not that this would be the first time!And I agree with the many others who believe that Dave would be pleased that you were appointed to replace him.
