I wanted to extend a special and personal thanks to Kin for agreeing to organize people. Kin; in my mind as well as others, has time and again proven himself to a valuable, giving, generous, positive and excellent member of CLUG. He; as well as his whole family; consistently give of themselves, in support of what CLUG is and what it stands for. They do this without asking for anything and expecting nothing in return. A tip of the hat to you Kin and your family for a job well done.

I had to be to the repair shop by 8 AM yesterday to stand in a line 6-10 people deep to wait 5 hours to get a tire fixed; got some Christmass shopping done, did laundry, grocery shopping, visited my family and had coffee with my parents yesterday and still made it to Sobey's to give of myself? What did you do yesterday? _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
