<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> While you will usually find me
to be an "absentee member" (I live in the Steppes), Bordermarch is, and will
always be, where my heart remains. What's the difference? The people. There is
no more honorable, friendly, warm group of people to be found anywhere on the
globe, and I hope that in the months and years to come you begin to regard
them as family. I regard them so, and have for many years.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Please understand, I don't
mean to be "dissing" anyone or to imply that people elsewhere are less than
friendly or honorable. People are people, both good and bad, wherever you go.
And perhaps I'm just showing my own bias, which I'll freely admit is there.
Regardless, I will always *claim* and believe the people of Bordermarch are
some of the friendliest anywhere, and take a lot of joy and pride in that
belief.</FONT></DIV>
