Hi All,
I want to say a big THANK YOU! I have really grown to enjoy your company and really miss it when I can't get on the forum. I've been inspired by, thrilled, wowed and have learned a lot from all of you. A very big and special thank you to Darren for making this site a reality and for keeping it going. Kudos to all the mods and contributors alike.

I've shared all of these before. I hope you enjoy them, I sure do.

An excellent choice of pictures to celebrate this important milestone, your work is varied and consistently presented at a very high standard. You are a generous commentator on others work, always offering words of support. We have been DPS friends a long time and my only regret is that because of the geopgraphy between us, we will never enjoy a photoshoot together.
Fred, congratualtions on 5000 posts my friend

Super guy. Super family. Super pictures. Treasure those precious family moments Fred. I know you do. What we have around us and within us makes us "peculiar" (KJV) people. God bless and keep you brother. Congrats on your 5K. PAUL
