Indeed ... I'm extremely remiss in also not thanking Rick and Michael. Again, you guys probably don't remember me, but I did enjoy the few meetings I was able to attend, and very much appreciate all you guys have done to keep the mailing list active.

I was only living in SF for a brief time: Fall of 2007, so most of you
</div>
<div>
haven't met me. I was and am honoured to have made your acquaintance
</div>
<div>
Bobbie. I've been using Linux full time, as a professional developer,
</div>
<div>
since 1999. Now I'm semi retired and living in Thailand. Even so,
</div>
<div>
although not actively posting for ages, I do monitor the mailing list,
</div>
<div>
and very very much appreciate how you've kept it going with your regular
</div>
<div>
posts.

I definitely agree, having been in the exact position described, if even
</div>
<div>
only one other person shows up, it's a meeting, and could change a life.
</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
Not to get too teary eyed, but Jim, in a figurative sense saved my life
</div>
<div>
and got me headed into a new career. I was at the lowest point in my
</div>
<div>
life and he got me energised and back on track. I'm still in touch with
</div>
<div>
him as well as Riley.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I'm sorry to hear about your chronic illness Bobbie, but just wanted to
</div>
<div>
let you know that your good work helping to keep the group going is very
</div>
<div>
much appreciated!

Thanks but is not me who really keeps the SF-LUG flying.
</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
Doug I barely managed to get stuff posted in a timely fashion any
</div>
<div>
loneer. Meeting in person at Cafe Enchante were some of the best
</div>
<div>
times of my life,
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
But Rick Moen and Michael Paoli keep things running
</div>
<div>
on the email lists for the SFBA LUGs
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Those are the people who keep the servers running and up-to-date.
</div>
<div>
Under Covid-19 precautions it is hard to have any really productive
</div>
<div>
meeting but we get to share the sight of each others's
</div>
<div>
faces at the jit.si meetings.
