Friends, Let me echo what Bob said. Thanks for the memories! And also for all the friendships gathered up along the way. It's been 25+ years in the Board room - more than a third of my not-so-short life. When I started, I even had hair on the top of my head ! Keep up the good work. With luck, I'll see you all in July. As I said to several of you, I live so close that coming down to a Board meeting is easy, and is probably cheaper entertainment than going out to the movies. I will continue as best I can, and perhaps to the chagrin of some, to act as a conscience, welcome or otherwise, to the Board. While I know you all have our members in mind as you do your work, do have a look at https://www.arrl.org/organization-structure. The first line says: "ARRL is a representative democracy — its members control its policies through the power of the ballot." Keep this in mind as you ponder the rules and procedures of our governance. And now, finally, maybe I can get my antennas put back together and get some real air time. See you on the bands !! 73,MikeK1TWF
