Ah, my friends! Now what can I say. You move an old codger to tears with such kind sentiments.
I had not only the dream of recreation of moments in history that I wanted to feel personally, but also the idea of many others realizing that they could contribute too.
Involvement is the key to pleasure and fulfillment. Seeing the names of so many of you upon whom I might have had an influence in getting involved deeper into the hobby is a true fulfillment of a deep seated goal.
I recognize and remember each of you. I can remember letters, notes, ideas, suggestions, requests or some other area where our lives crossed.
I hope this does not sound arrogant. I don't mean it that way. But seeing a host of new and enthusiastic gamers, deeply involved in the hobby is what I feel is my greatest contribution to the hobby.
And without your stalwart support, advice, suggestions and encouragement, old Wild Bill would not be where he is today. So now my thanks to all of you!
And yes, I will continue but in more of a creative role. Got lots of ideas for battles and scenarios. Now I can do them! So get ready!
Y a mis colegas del habla espanola, mis agradecimientos mas profundos! Somos un ejercitio internacional y victoriosos en todo!
And just so you know, Francesco, I did understand most of your message in italiano! Agradecido!
Good hunting, my friends! There are so many great things ahead for wargamers!
Thanks to you all...Wild Bill
