sent me Birthday wishes. More importantly, those over these 4 months (that I have participated in this hobby) that have provided their time, advice, and knoweldge about chip collecting. I could write pages on all the amazing things fellow chippers have done for me ... from the great emails to even an occassion when I came home and a box of items was at my doorstep .... at no charge and with no email ... just to assist me learn the hobby I greatly enjoy. So, on this my birthday I want those of you on this chipboard and those who are also chip club members to know that I am blessed each day .... that is the greatest gift of all.

Cheers
