A First Class Effort from a First Class Individual.

[Ultra]

Here, in this holiday season, I am thinking about all of the things this past year contained, and one of them is the creation and construction of this site.  I want to take this opportunity to thank Karn Utz for all of his hard work, support, dedication and patience dealing with me and all of the other extraneous issues involved in getting this site off the ground and moving forward.   Without him, this site would not exist.  It is his hard work that has given us all something to feel good about and be a part of.  My gratitude is yours, Karn.   Thank you.  I look forward to working with you throughout the next year as well.  May your holiday season be filled with joy.

Came to me a while back that, while I've talked to C on numerous occasions, I don't even know KU's name.  No matter, his character has shown through repeatedly in both word and deed.  Glad to be of acquaintance and also thankful for the effort.

Thank you, all. I'm honored.

I love what I do and what I've learned by working on this site, and I'm pleased that you enjoy the fruits of our labors.

And, my name is Francis - as in the blessing-of-the-pets St. Francis. Not Nick, nor Otto, nor Grote. And I'm not a doctor.

All the boys in my family had saintly names. The older one, who was the more creative and prolific dispenser of half-nelsons and other forms of pain was named for the dragon slayer, St. George. My other bother was named for archangel Michael. He was no stranger to pounding me, either.

I don't know of my parents instinctively knew which of us would be warlike and prone to physical violence, and who would be the taker-in of stray cats and dogs, but it seems the names they gave us were pretty apt.

Funny how it works out that way.  Isn't it?

Good to know your name Francis

Yeah...my dad wanted to call me "Dick."

I rest my case.

My mother's name was Frances. Are we perhaps related?
