And let's not forget a big thank you to Ted Roche, who has stepped up to 
take David's place with CentralLUG as well as being our new fearless 
leader (whether it's official or not, you've been doing the job Ted ;) 
).  And in addition to all that he also attends many of the meetings, 
and writes up meeting notes to share with everyone here.  I won't get 
into everything else he does to help us (like letting us hang an antenna 
out his bathroom window) but will end here with a big, heartfelt THANK YOU!

Happy Thanksgiving!
