I can confirm by photographic evidence that in 2003 Mike did indeed have hair on his head as did I.
And N2ZZs was a bit darker than today's shade.

It's amazing how fast almost 21 years have passed.

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,
Mike
