My apologies to Towncrier!!

[CathyCanada]

I knew I would miss someone when I did my "Thanks" post!!
You were wonderful John and what a special way to start (and finish) such a special event. I am giving you a new name tag, hope you don't mind.

No apology necessary. I came in at the last minute and offered to add my little part to the opening ceremony. I didn't have to prepare for a year. I just showed up. My point in replying to your original post was that there was even more behind the scenes planning than people imagined. I never dreamed that volunteering to participate would add to Linda's task, but it did. And I just wanted to make sure that people knew about her efforts on my behalf. I literally begged Linda to be allowed to participate in any way that I could. Thanks CC for the recognition.

My pleasure John and you deserved to be recognized! So, about the new name tag, like it?

Now I'm official. I suppose that I should drop the Howdy Folks part.

Thanks CC.

 

[Mackey Mouse]

Nah.. leave the Howdy Folks.. makes it special.. Thanks for all your help...

 

[CathyCanada]

Just let me know John, your wish is my command! If you want Howdy Folks removed I can do that for you.

John, if you (or CC) remove the "hody folks", I hope you'll add it to your signature somehow. I LOVE the way you say "howdy folks", and it brings a smile to my face just hearing myself say it.
