Hi all. I’ve been a member of the forum since 2006. Before June of 2006 I’d never touched a mandolin. The Café quickly became a main part of my daily life.
Scott Tichenor, Mike Edgerton, John Hamlett (sunburst), sblock, and some others became (unbeknownst to them) mentors for me because of their clear thinking input on so many topics over the years. I thank you all.
I’m sure that I’m leaving out many others here who have helped to educate me in various ways through the years. Please know that I appreciate you too.
Health issues have recurred and, since February, I find myself in the terminal stages of a recurrent pancreatic tumor (“cured” in 2003). I’ll be checking in for a while longer, but will likely be decreasing my participation.
The Café becomes somewhat like a second family, and I just wanted to share the information with you. Honestly, it’s been a very nice trip with you all.
Thanks to you all.
Be safe. Be kind. Be happy.
