We have ended yet one more year in the fabric of the fluitidy of time and endless void of space. Many events occur during this measure of time our earth presents us with, some wins, some defeats, some gains some losses, new life and end of life, love gained and love lost. The ying and yang can continue endlessly with dialogue expressing all that did and could of happened. Through this turmoil of planned and unplanned circumstance we have one thing we can depend on and that is Bill Gruber and the FML. I for one am very thankful for the FML and the unsung efforts of Bill Gruber and his wife. Bill and the FML has been one huge win for me and for so many others that have come to depend on these posts. Some for a single moment, and some for many moments. Some for extremely minor help or assistance and some for the most disasterous of events. Thru it all so many have been raised to some degree with the benefits of Bill's efforts. So for one I offer the deepest heart felt thanks to Bill for all he has done for me and others with this Ferret List. Thank you Bill ! For sure Byte-me was a star on this site as well as CNN news and the FML Calendar. Because of the FML and those who read I now have two of the finest pains in the butt a person could have, Peekaboo and Pester. Having lost several friends to cancer in the last 2 years and my mother as well as several best of friends ferrets the FML has always stood by me. At least there is one thing I can depend on. (Besides taxes). Keep on keeping on Bill. We need you far more than anyone will express to you. God Speed and dooks. Gordon, Peekaboo and Pester Rev.
