What a great thread Pete.

I see a few kind words directed my way and for those I say thank you.

As I remember I first got online at this site in late '97 with a hand me down computer running Windows 3.1 and 'free' AOL access to the web. I am not sure when I first posted but I clearly remember posting a question about my first W&C Scott from a hotel in KY in '98. Still have it and it is currently undergoing renovation.

My daughter will be 8 y.o. and proudly marching through the second grade. Thanks all for the thoughts and prayers over the years. She was followed on by a second daughter who will be 6 y.o. the week before her sisters birthday.

Lots of memories posted here. I'll have to come back and read this thread in detail. Work beckons for now.
