I was just getting ready to thank Bruce as well as Bob Mera. Bob always told me about the meetings and it was Bruce who got me to my first one. Also thanks to Archie for convincing me to become a Life Member. I almost didn't and we exchanged e mails at the time. I wasn't happy with something. Can't even recall what, but Archie told me how there will always be things in life I can't agree with and I shouldn't let it stop me.

Now on to the West Coast. I have to thank the O'Neals and Gene Trimble. I met them early on and they all made me feel Welcome.

Now thanks to all the countless others who traded and tought me along the way.
