RE: End of an era - F500 mailing list

Eric,Thanks for all of your support over the years.  Not only have you done a great job taking care of our
class, but you have also created a very strong and closely knit community by giving us an avenue of
communication.  Your work has been greatly appreciated by everyone!Brian Novak#66 Piper DF-5
