As a senior citizen (officially retired), I have time on my hands, and am
willing to volunteer to play some administrative part in our
present-and-future directions.

Over the years that I have belong to our lists, I have learned a ton and
made some friends here, and I value that immensely.

If I can help, in any way, I would be happy to do so. More times than I can
enumerate, people here have saved my bacon! And I stand ready to pay back
and pay forward to my beloved community.
