[SOC] Hello from new member

[Fred Jensen]

Well said Kevin.  We "put up with you" because you're one of us.  And I 
really don't want to think about my mother rising from her grave and 
lecturing me on how I should be so ashamed.  I do love this group.

I've been absent from ECN ... hopefully that will change by the end of 
the month.  A few rig problems, and then the Gulf Disaster.  I volunteer 
at the local blood center, and things have become a bit intense, as you 
might expect, and I've been in there most every day, including weekends. 
  Maybe this Sun.

Fred
