Title: Here it is! # 5,000
Post by: GrayBeard on January 11, 2012, 11:52:57 am
On April 19, 2010 at 6:18 a.m. I logged on and registered to be part of this magnificent Forum.

I had no idea what it was going to be like and I just wanted to get more and more information about a 'hobby' that I had found to be fun, interesting, aggravating, enjoyable and very rewarding.

What I found was something totally different! I found a HOME and a FAMILY!
Friends from around the U.S. and the entire world, most of whom I will never meet face to face, but who have become closer to me than many members of my actual family.

YOU have given me so much more than you can ever know, encouragement, instruction, advice, smiles, belly laughs, an occasional tear and yes even an occasional 'put down'.

Were it not for this forum and the people here I would have drifted away from this 'hobby/addiction' long ago and would not have enjoyed the last two years nearly as much as I have.

A special Thank You to Steve Good (what an appropriate last name!) for starting this group and making it possible for me to be a part of this wonderful FAMILY.

AND...Thank YOU, all my many friends, for being here and making an ol' guy happier than he has ever been.

God Bless you all!

Hey GB, Congratulations on 5000! It seems like there should be another category for that mark. I agree with you that this site is like family. I didn't sign on till that evening, so that's why you are so ahead of me ::)

Hi GrayBeard, I'm totally in agreement with you. It's just a wonderful big family. Congratulations on hitting the 5,000 mark. As for dgman's comment I think Saint GrayBeard sounds good don't you dg. From the Kilted one.

Congratulations, GB I've got a long way to go to reach 5,000, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the forum. I log in several times a day and enjoy reading your posts and all the rest. I have met people here that I have become closer to than some I worked with for many years.

I wouldn't go that far Roy. I've communicated with him behind the scenes, and he is no saint! But he is a great guy! I think I like Senior Hero.
