Re: OT - Wonderful web tribute to the Armed forces

Thanks, Tricia, but I'm far from a perfect anything. I think that the
reason I can do MG things efficiently is because it is pretty much my
only cause. I don't have family activities or other interests vying
(sp?) for my spare time. I like to do a few things well and not get
spread too thin. I am dedicated to this program, but I do say no when I
feel I can't do justice to what is being asked of me.
