Jim,

I just want to say "THANKS", as a newer member to the Silver Stike Hobby and Chapter, this website is one of the best resources a collector could have. The amount of work and effort you must be putting in is just incredible, and I want you to know how much it is appreciated.

I must say that I am amazed that the online catalog is open to everyone and not just members, as it has to be one of the most valuable tools for collectors. In addition, the amount of time it takes to create this and maintain it makes it a valuable resource. I would pay my dues every year just for the Online Catalog alone! I appreciate all the other great benefits of membership, like the newsletter, as I know it also is a lot of work and those individuals do a teriffic job also.

So, thanks again, and if it was up to me you would get a free lifetime membership to the chapter for all the work you have done. But since it is not up to me, I guess you'll just have to accept my thanks and gratitude.
