Ron Smith · 12-28-2004, 07:50 AM

John D,
Thanks for the acknowledgement. Just a small donation to help you pay for Ed's treatments. He does seem to be improving. I've noticed that he has stopped talking to the smilies. A clear sign of progress.

Ron

John D. · 12-28-2004, 07:55 AM

Hi Ron...!

Actually - I bought the generic brand with the funds - so I'm able to give him "double doses". I agree - the medication really does seem to be working..!

Seriously - I'm not certain how appreciated you and the other folks know your donations are in meeting the financial obligations of the running this Forum. Just know you have my thanks and the appreciation of all those who read this Forum.

John D.
(BTW - you should see some new Lugerforum Member areas. As a Patron, I'd invite you to participate in those areas as well. My thanks again, Ron!)

John D. · 12-31-2004, 08:47 AM

And as well, I'd like to recognize Tim, Ron Wood, G.W. Gill and Craig who have contributed to the LugerForum (and for Tim and Ron - yet again).

My sincerest and warmest Thanks!! to each and all of you... Your support is simply incredible and amazing.... My thanks for that....

Hello Fellows,
To me, the collaboration with all Luger Forum friends is a great gratification. Every day I learn something news reading at the topic and I hope to transfer my little competence to other Luger enthusiasts.
We are a very effective team.
Happy and peaceful 2005.
Ciao
Mauro

Mauro,

Well said - and my thanks! The success as a community of these Forums is to the credit of those who log-in and share their experience, wisdom and knowledge with others throughout the world....

As well - and as importantly - I would like to welcome our newest LugerForum Patron Jan Still. As most know, Jan's Luger Forum and Site is another huge asset to the collecting community, and I will continue to recommend it without reservation.

To all - a wonderful 2005!

John D.

Ron Smith · 01-02-2005, 10:33 AM

Holy Smoke! If Jan donated $1.00 per Luger. This site should be self sufficient until 2009.

John D. · 01-07-2005, 10:05 AM

As well.............

I'd like to thank Tom A for his generosity and recurring support of this forum... As some know - last year, Tom also sent me a "jug of fine sippin' whisky" - which clouded all reason and thus made the decision easier to upgrade and change over this Forum to it's current format and new circuits...

Hmmmm - let me think about that..???

Seriously - again - my sincerest Thank You! to all the LugerForum Patrons and supporters..... This site wouldn't be possible without your combined efforts and generosity....

John D.

I have some *extremely bad* news...Jefferson Reserve 15 year old is no longer offered by the distillery. Instead, they are offering a blend of 12-17 year old bourbon which they tout as "very old". Bleech..it don't work.

The good news is that I have operatives in 6 states buying all the 15 year old they can find on store shelves, At last count, I have 18 bottles scattered across this great country of ours.

Hmmm...if I wasn't busy trying to satisfy clients, I'd think it was time for a road trip...mebbe combine it with my Gun day/SOS activities next month...ya' never knows...
