Good-bye, Mark Padgett!

[rainmaker]

I hope this is not too personal, but I have done a little asking around here, and discovered that Mark Padgett is hanging up the whistle, which is why we haven't been hearing from him lately. I for one will miss him tremendously. His rules knowledge, experience, and cynical wit were always incisive and helpful, but I will miss the Davisms the most. I will try to find out someone else who can help pass along the Dave, but I'm wondering if he only got Dav-ish when Mark was there.

Since Mark hasn't been posting, I've never had the chance to thank him for the encouragmeent and advice he's given me, and I don't have his e-mail, but if the Admin of the board could pass this along, I'd appreciate it. (Is this a run-on sentence, or what!?!?) Thanks!
