Please help me congratulate Steck and DrRichP who earned their RHs simultaneously at Marion, IL, this past weekend. They both did a fabulous job and will be a significant boost to the Northern IL cadre.  ^:)^
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.  Thomas Jefferson

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.  H. L. Mencken

Congratulations to Steck and DrRichP - Illinois is very fortunate!!!   ^:)^
"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
― Samuel Adams

"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders."
― Samuel Adams

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

Well done  O0

Steck

Thanks, everyone!  For those of you who haven't worked with DrRichP yet, he's a lot of fun and a real sharp guy who really really  earned that red hat.

Mutti holy smokes it's really been a year!   Seems like a month and a decade all at the same time.

It's really true, Appleseeders are the best folks you'll ever meet.  LET'S MAKE SOME MORE!

DrRichP

Thank you to all for the kind words of congratulations. I'm looking forward to working with many of you and having a lot of fun instructing. I'd also like to thank all those who taught me, and shared with me so that I may be here. I wouldn't be a red hat without you. THANK YOU!

Congrats to both and thanks for helping!

A year orange to red is pretty good.  Let's see how long it takes to turn those hats green...
