??10K?? Well done, Kirk1??

? ? ? ? * * Kirk1 has ??10K?? Congratulations! * *? ? ? ?

Welcome to all the group of those who have been voted on by their peers to gain 10K in reps. You may be retired, but you have worked hard for 2 years to improve your Spanish. You have entertained us, supported us and most of all, been one of the dedicated members who continues to move onward and upward. We've enjoyed your participation in all the threads and in answering so many questions and playing in many games.

Hoping you'll soon be using your Spanish skills outside of S.Carolina to organize a great game of golf in some wonderful Spanish-speaking country... like Chile! ;o)

Here's a plate of S. Carolina's finest to celebrate your accomplishment!

You're the best, Katy!!!!! - rac1, Sep 5, 2013

Yes, your are. Thank you so much Katy. It would be nice to vist Chile or perhaps Ecuador or so many other places. - kirk1, Sep 5, 2013

Excellent tribute, Katy! - Findy, Sep 5, 2013

I dew declare katy, you have outdone yourself.: ) - Ranman, Sep 5, 2013

Answer 1

Kirk perfil

Congratulations mate a well deserved post for all your efforts.

It is quite strange that sometimes we never really know the intricacies of our

fellow members until we read about them in the congratulatory threads.

This became very evident to me in this great post from Katya about Kirk.

I had missed some of the salient points of his profile , namely that he had

been an Aircraft engineer , is a golfer ( well we all have a cross to bear),

lives in South Carolina and speaks Chinese , he is all that and a great guy también.

A kind and thoughtful member and a talented linguist , I love his insightful comments

and very helpful remarks , it has been a pleasure mate , look forward to more to come.

Bien hecho amigo, un nuevo "leyenda"

The shrimp look delicious - gohern, Sep 5, 2013

I am leaving on the 12th Ray - pmikan-pam, Sep 5, 2013

I'm still here Rey Ray, but we are all wondering why you call Katy, Katya? - pmikan-pam, Sep 5, 2013

Coz, I always thought that she was Russian , don't ask me why , I get weird feelings about people , she was probably Caterina the great in a previous life - ray76, Sep 5, 2013

Great post Ray, como siempre. You crack me up sometimes... ;o) - katydew, Sep 5, 2013

Katy do you have Russian in your family? - pmikan-pam, Sep 5, 2013
