Cheif,
You held this site and club together for many years. I am not sure we would even be here without you. Thank you for all the work you have done not just in restoring the site but for us over the years, and over the last several weeks in helping us noobs get everything where it should be. The work you have done here is admirable. You did your best, for a long time, and I hope that in retrospect your work here is something you are proud of.
I appreciate greatly what you have done for this site, this club, and this community.
I have nothing but respect for you.
I am sad to see you go, but I know you have been wanting to step back now for several years. You've been the stable rock for this club as long as I have been here. Thank you.
