Now that we’re into the new year, I wanted to send a special “Thank You” to **TubaDiva** for her invaluable help with the subscription drawings. I can’t think of even once when I didn’t have problems and she made them all go smoothly. I am glad you are my friend, **TD** , and I wish you all the best in 2013!!!:):):)🙂 Bill ---

It’s probably a good thing she and I don’t talk too often because I just can’t say no to that woman. ---

Just kidding, but you have always been there for me, and I don’t know of any other way to say “thanks”. So can you just accept this, please? I do love you, and thank you for always being right here.
