Rel/Scott and everyone who participated -- you rock -- thank you so much for these extra-special gifts.  EN World is a very special place to me and I truly appreciate you all being here.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><a href="http://webpages.charter.net/ericnoah/thankyou.mp3" target="_blank">http://webpages.charter.net/ericnoah/thankyou.mp3</a></blockquote>
