very well put Thor but may I add a few things? The Doobie Brothers brought
us all together and we thank them. Through our love for them and their
music we have become a family and as such we share in each others lives;
both joy and sorrow. We are never rude to each other, even if we don't
always agree and I, for one, love this club and look forward to the posts
from the members. It's like getting a letter from home. I know rules 1 and
2 but I also know that things like wishing a happy birthday to someone,
posting good wishes to Pete Dubin, trying to get blood donated for persons
needing it and caring about each other is vital to the life of this club. If
we don't care about each other, how can we truly share in our love for the
Doobie Brothers and their music?
