I am absolutely thrilled that you've chosen to take on the vast responsibility and time that goes into being president of our organization. You clearly have the skill, the drive, and the knowledge that it takes to follow in Doug's large footsteps, and I'm sure that everyone in our hobby recognizes that.

It's been a pleasure to serve for years with you as a fellow Board member and fellow Club Auction Chair, as well as to be your partner in our publishing efforts and, now, in putting on the annual Casinorama Super Show. It's also been an honor be be your friend, and in all of these regards you will have my complete and utter support and endorsement as you run for President.
