Sounds like a guy I know. Could it be you? Now that you are a big shot, do I get a raise? I would like to go from the current $0.00 to $00.00

Congratulations Peter, and Welcome Aboard!! I look forward to working with you next year. It's really great to know that such ability and vigor will be a new addition to the Board. Though Dave's loss is sad, I know that if it had to be, he would be very pleased to know his place would be taken by such a close friend, and one with such fantastic abilities.

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.
