Thread: I just posted my last Giveaway so am I am retiring from the Giveaways

Hi All,
I have been doing the giveaways for the past 9 1/2 years and it is time to pass the torch to someone else. The person taking over for me is Dieseld and his name is Dave Alexandrowski. I have been in contact with him and I am sure that he will do as good a job and probably a better job than I have. I just mailed all of the prizes to him yesterday so if all goes well he should up and running for the April Giveaway.

I want to thank all of you for you help and kindness that you have thrown my way during the past few years it has been appreciated. I leave this job with a sad heart because it has been enjoyable doing the job and chatting with all of you over the years. I have made several friends doing this job. I know that you will treat Dieseld (Dave) with the respect that have shown me over the years.

I hope that I will visit the forum a bit more that I did when I was doing the giveaways but we will see.

Hope to chat with some of you late,
Bill Watkins aka str8razor

Bill, thank you for your altruism and generosity of your attention on the Forum.

Thanks Bill for the time and effort you've put into The giveaway it is a very much appreciated part of this forum, and thanks Dave for your willingness to take over.

All I saw was someone starting a thread that said "I just posted my last" and was concerned. Thank you for all your hard work, patience, and generosity. Unfortunately I don't know you as well as some of the other Gentlemen here, but I certainly appreciate what you've done.

I certainly hope so. There are great mentors on this forum (not just referring to those with the official title) but it seems like everyone makes a unique contribution from their varied experience and interests. So, I'm sure you still have plenty to "giveaway" on the forum.

Thank you for all your work over the years, it is most appreciated.
