2011 has provided us with plenty of challenges, and we have to be remember that they only make us stronger. 

With that said, let's start off 2012 with a very welcome bang!

Did I happen to mention my daughter made the dean's list last semester, in engineering no less?[8D]

Hi all,
ORIGINAL: USS America

My Brothers, with a heavy heart, I have to pass along more sad news this evening.  I received an email reply from Des' son this evening that he has lost his long battle with illness.  

Here is the email that his son, Basil, asked me to pass along:

Hello Mike,

[/align]I am Bruce (Des) Wallace's Son,[/align]
[/align]I am just tiding-up his affairs and correspondence.[/align]
[/align]I have the sad news that my Father passed away on the twenty eighth of November 2011, after a long Illness.[/align]
[/align]I am sorry to have to give you this news, and could you please also pass this news onto his other gaming friends[/align]
[/align]Basil Wallace. 

The only words that come to mind are that I've lost a friend.  It matters not that we never met in person.  Des will be missed.
[/align]

I am very sad... goodbye Des... you will be missed... [:(]

Hi all,

Today for the first time ever since I am here I reported another person to the forum authorities... I simply can't believe how low one can become...

Leo,

I have to agree regarding Des and his high spirits. My last message from him was dated 14 November. He was relocating to his sister's home which was a one-floor plan. Said he just needed a few weeks to get settled and then he would be back to gaming.

Cheerful and considerate to the end. He was a true gentleman

Sad news over a usually joyful time. Herwin and DivePac will be greatly missed. Didn't know Herwin as well, but still knew who he was.

I can't believe that troll, however, I am not suprised...

Don't extend it!!!.. but I understand why..
