Mike I just read the news about the new State Coordinator, and I'll be communicating my enthusiatic congratulations to Ratchett, you can be sure.

But meanwhile, IMO, you deserve the thanks of all of us. Appleseed Ohio doubled under your watch, and I know you spent countless hours on all manner of tasks related to making that happen. I suspect you've got the scars to prove it.

Thank you Meanstreaker for your tireless service to Appleseed

MeanStreaker,
What can I say because Thank You is sooo inadequate! You have made Ohio Appleseed a shining star with your selfless hard work. I can only hope to be an eighth as effective as you have been in this position. (ok, Fred can't read that, I all ready feel the clown bat :) ) Seriously, you have done an amazing job and a fantastic mentor to all!

I also applaud and thank Starbuck for her selfless sharing of her husband not only on weekends but every night of the week, as you were always working on something Appleseed and never hesitated to take a call.

The bright and exciting spot in all is the next generation of Appleseed on the way  ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^ May God' s blessings reign over the three of you.

See you on the trail...
In His Grip,
Ratchett

Thank you MeanStreaker! You have done so much for the program and much of it unnoticed by many.

Congrats to you and Starbuck on the little Rifleman.  ;)

Thank you all.

It was a privilege to work in the State Coordinator role and I look forward to continuing to work with everyone as an Instructor on the line.

Thank you, MeanStreaker, for your years of tireless service and dedication to Ohio Appleseed.
You'll be in my prayers as you and your wife start a new, and very important, stage in your lives.

I hope you we can arrange something for a little later this year... ::)

NR's right; 'THANK YOU' just isn't enough.

Thanks Mike, for your tireless efforts, for being steadfast and unwavering. For soldiering on through trials and doubt, for never letting strife cloud your vision and judgment.

Thanks to the beautiful Joanna for all her efforts and all she has to tolerate as an extension of your involvement.

See you on the trail (soon I hope),
Ben

Amen!

Thank you so much, MeanStreaker, not only for your excellent service as State Coordinator but for your superb mentoring to the Ohio instructor crew.  Can't wait to see Special K.   ;)

Many blessings,

Mike, I met you a little under a year ago, at next to you at dinner that first Saturday night that I shot at an AS. Even though we were surrounded by Orange Hats who wanted to talk to you and share their day, YOU took the time to include me. I never thanked you for that. I do now. You are young enough to be my son, but old enough to be my mentor. I have learned much from you, but the biggest, or should I say the most important thing, is your Passion.
Thanks for all you and your lovely wife have done, for all you will do, and for helping to create a life that will be the better parts of both of you. I am here if you ever need anything.
See you on the trail...Louie
