[Deptheads] So Long!

[Karl Kreder]

I haven't said how much I will honestly miss Patrick.  He is the real reason
I am back into war gaming and have met so many great people who play games.


Nobody will ever really know how much work Patrick did for the con, SoCal
Gamers, or Socal Games Day because he just quietly got it done, no
complaints (well very few), no procrastination (well maybe a little), and no
fan fair.

You cannot replace Patrick, you can only hope to live up to the standards he
has set.

Now Lori on the other hand...

Lori was our energy at board game HQ, our enthusiasm when we were dragging.
Lori don't think you will not be missed either, or that you are in the
shadow of Patrick.

It's just that I know him better  =)

Happy Trails and best of luck where ever life leads you.
