RI,

Thank you for all your work on behalf of the community and your many contributions.

Hope you will still drop in now and then to comment when something here interests you.

Oh, and please don't be surprised if an old Huskie contacts you in Seattle sometime to take you up on your offer of a beer (or a coffee perhaps - after all, it is Seattle).

You are one of the members here that I would definitely take the opportunity to meet in person.

Best wishes, and please give my regards to the dolphins.

Your leaving is sad news. Who will oppress Bach now?

Best wishes, Res Ipsa! Vaya con Dios and Shades will leave the light on for you.

Sorry to see this RI. Thanks for your work and best wishes.

Thanks, canpakes. I'll miss you guys, too. Enjoying my time is the whole idea. :smile:

Thanks, Ajax. I will miss you as well. I'll plan to duck in from time to time to see how y'all are.

Perhaps you will consider dropping by every now and then? I know I speak for more than just myself when I say that we would be interested (and care) to know how life is going for you and yours.

Best wishes friend!

Love you brother and peace,
Ceeboo


Thanks, friend. I will drop by, if nothing else to get a tongue washing from that cow. Peace and love to you as well.

If you want to move on, than I hope you can get there. Best wishes to you as well.

Thanks, Reverend. I've learned a ton from your posts. I really appreciate how you've shared your own relationship to Mormonism over time.
