Congratulations Jubilado , 10 K legend of the Midwest

.

I have always hoped that we are more than "Ships that pass in the night "

Although both you and I are sailing closer to our home Port , we still

have a great journey ahead of us . It has been far more than just

a pleasure to have worked with , and get to know a little of you mate;

I have loved your humour and the inspirational style that you approach

each post . Having someone with such a rich command of both

English and Spanish has been such a bonus for SD . Your helpful

caring manner has created an atmosphere that SD has much to

thank you for , as do we all . Thank you for being a great mate,

and a wonderful member of SD, welcome to the 10 K club.

Prairie Crocus, a harbinger of spring

Great tribute, Ray! :)) - Noetol, Mar 21, 2013

Thank you Noetol , it is not easy with us , let's say , more mature members , to let each other know exactly how we feel about each other without sounding false , but believe me I do not make notes , I just open my heart and speak , I mean what I say. - ray76, Mar 21, 2013
