[TheForge] abana

[Dann at wctatel.net]

I paid my ABANA dues up  for another year, yesterday.

I think ABANA has held to mission and remains worthy.

Serving on an ABANA board would consume a ton of hours, with few  "atta
boy " / ' thanks you' s, and probably plenty of criticsm.

So for any ABANA board members reading this..

Thank you.
