Big Thank you

[tippie53]

With the loss of the OLF not many forums are left out there and I want to thank all that participate but mostly

John Read
He works behind the scenes keeping this forum running , without him who knows where we would be

Diane Kaufmann
You find her helping with the admin duties and she and John keep this place running

I am looking at the future and I am hoping we can set this up to run as long as there is an interest in Luthery


So I would like to get some help in doing this.

It may mean we have to put together a board of directors and admin help so we can do the business of keeping this going.

That means we may need to ask for money once in a while to pay for server and web space

John and Diane please chime in. I want this to run forever is possible so we need to create this board asap. I am not ill I am fine but its time to make this change so it doesn't just fold
thank you

A short history is that this was first created by Bill Cory then he sold it to me. I bought it with 3 partners
Bob Cefalo
Waldron Instrument
Myself

I am technically the last one so its time to turn this over to the community

It's been an honor to help keep this forum going. Diane does a ton of work and there's also a laundry list of things KGF needs such as server maintenance, upgrades, etc. If anyone is interested in assisting with server-side support, such as phpBB, database, etc., please reach out to me.

I hope we can get some support to assure the forum can continue into the future

I'm immensely grateful for this forum. And I'm way too far past an age at which I can take on new tasks.

If something is asked which I think I can do, I'll raise my hand.
