However, that is not to say you won't be missed in this role. Your dedication, selflessness and perserverance have earned you my respect and admiration. I salute you, Mr. Tolson.

It is also my fervant hope that we see you wandering the halls of the Asylum. I know life sometimes intrudes on this hobby of ours and access to the board.takes a back seat to the real world, but I for one want you to know your presence is sorely missed.

Thanks for your efforts, Fred. We can all take a lesson from you on walking the talk.

Don't think I could have said it more concisely. Fred, thank you!

Thanks for your dedication and hard work for the troops Fred. You set a high standard but Hugh is the right man for the job. All the best to you.

Just piling on

You've done an outstanding job and have shown us all what it is to be true BOTL's!

Fred, Thank you so much for all you have done over the years to make our donation program possible. Before I joined the old site I had never directly done anything to support our troops overseas. Through your hard work and dedication I was introduced to a form of support which had never crossed my mind. To directly interact with individual soldiers has been a truly rewarding experience. I have been inspired to be the main collection point for the Northern California botl's and collect at every herf.

As Tom said, "Thank you" is not nearly enough for all you have done over the years. But, Thank you none the less.

Hugh, Thank you for stepping up and good luck. I am confident you will do a great job and if there is anything we can do to make things easier, please dont hesitate to ask.

'Tis a sad day. I thank you for your hard work and dedication. Thank you.

And who better to take over than the man who has his own catch phrase.

HUGHRAH! indeed.

hotreds · 03-16-2010, 07:25 PM

It is an honor and most humbling to be chosen to continue the wonderful work of Fred and those who preceded him.

Fred, thank you for all you have done for the troops! May God richly Bless You and yours as you turn to another chapter in your magnanimous life!

Gentlemen and Ladies: I pray that I will be able to continue Fred's work in a manner that makes him- and you- proud.

HUGHRAH!
