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. A.
