   35 years and still playing is a Great thing.  We all do what we can to make this game what it is and we contribute as best we can and when we can.  Let me say thank you for the fine work and service that you have given to the Society.  I have known so many so called " High Office" people wash dishes to cleaning bath rooms.   In my sick mind, that is all contributing to the game.  I marshaled a war this past  weekend and could not fight....yes, in many ways, I what you are saying.
