<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>On behalf of all who know him I want to publicly
acknowledge the fellow affectionately known as “Peter’s Dad” in the Pattern
Community. <BR><BR>Frank has repeatedly gone well beyond the call of duty in his
role of NSRCA District 2 Vice President. He ignored the lack of
funding for awards and spent from his own pocket on many occasions. He
spent his valuable time attending to details that the rest of us
frequently ignored. We will never know how many screw ups did not happen because
Frank just plain “Took Care Of”. <BR><BR>Although Frank has requested to be
relieved, the election process has not been completely executed and things could
still be changed. Since things are quiet at this Christmas Season most will not
have noted that the D2 Web site has come down. Frank has moved to Winston Salem
and is a Medical Doctor at Baptist Memorial Hospital. <BR><BR>In anticipation of
this circumstance and after conferring with Frank and Robert Gainey, I
kept a copy of the web site framework that Frank Designed. I have modified that
framework (more like shamelessly plagerized!) and I will be working on it as
time permits in ANTICIPATION that Robert will be the next D2 VP. <BR><BR>I say
“in Anticipation” because the election results are not announced at this time.
Robert is a little sheepish about putting it up early, but I felt it best to
have something up for District 2. <BR><BR>Should the unlikely occur, and
Robert not be elected we will both be offering our support to the new VP.
