Boy isn't this the best news ever!! 
Just got back from several days in the mountains and am excited to see this news Lee! I've always thought you'd be a great moderator . . .you were doing it all already without the title or the tools to do the day to day "housekeeping" parts of the job.
You are the most caring individual and your words have helped so many of us over the months. Thank you so much for all the support!
Hip Hip Hooray!

PS - We are traveling East during July and August (visiting grandkiddies in Timmins Ontario and meeting the new one due August 25th) We will be without internet for a great portion of our time as we'll be camping in our RV in a campground without internet. At times when we go to the house we will catch up, but our posts will be few during this time. We will return home in early September. We will be praying for and thinking of our friends in the forum. We are so thankful the events of our past year have turned out so positively to enable us to make this long awaited visit.
