    Three thousand digests.  That is truly amazing!!!!  All I can say is Thank you Neill!!!!  None of us will ever be able to repay you or thank you enough for the countless years worth of hours you have put in to the digest, to keep this tight knit, not so little community alive and thriving.

 

    I really can not recall when I first got on the list.  At this point in my life I know I’m 47 years old, been married 17 years, have three kids, two of whom are teenagers, and how to drive to work in the morning and return home at night.  Everything else is a blur.  I do know that I go back at least as far as May 1998 (KPS 884) as for some reason I have that one saved because of a set list of Ray playing at J & R Music World in NY (sent in by Jerry).  But I think I may go back a year or so earlier.  I do know that I found out about the list by stumbling across Dave Emlens site.  These days, I’m pretty much a lurker.  For a while I would post somewhat regularly, but I have always enjoyed reading the musings and comments of such Knowledgeable folks like Jerry (JerzkyB), Bob Gill, and Jim Smart, to name but a few.  Oh, and I will occasionally read through some of the ranting and ravings from my fellow Valley Stream alum, Frank (I was born there, left shortly thereafter).

 

All in all, the KPS has been a part of my daily life for at least the past 10 years.  Thank you Neill, and sorry for the grainy picture (digital is busted, Santas brining a new one, but for now the phone cameras all I got).
