I know I've not been around for awhile..(life, family emergencies, etc., losing my job twice within the past three years) but this is where this avowed NQP has been made to feel like a member of this great community. Thank you for doing what you do.. would like this to stay open.

I know that I've been absent a long time, but hey now I've visited a few times since the advent of Facebook. This place is the bubblehead main stay. There has been others, but THIS IS the place to go to. I know that you're getting up there in years, long in the tooth, old and grey, etc.... please consider keeping the joint active as long as possible.
Thanks for hearing me out, or reading this Respectfully, Ol' Billybob, aka Launcher Lary

Finances is not the issue. Just lack of participation Gary.

Ron- I certainly understand you considering closing the BBS. I still check it several times a week, but like most everyone else, I haven't posted but just visited. Thank you for hosting all of us for so long. The Torsk Work Weekends would have never occurred, if you hadn't given us a place.

I check the site each day. Been here since June 1997. Would be sorry to see it end but I get it.

Hi Dan,
There is a plan to keep that information available to all in the event that this site closes, albeit in a different location. G

I would definitely like for Ron to keep this website going for personal reasons. I had Gerry put up the links to the Silent Service videos, and Dex Armstrong's After Battery stories that I copied off Ray Stones web page after he passed away, some almost 180 pages; and the other authors of other similar stories because I didn't want those pieces of history to vanish in the ethernet. And I also keep the list of Reactor Hulls berried at Hanford dup to date for those who want to know where their ustafish's reactors are in Pit 19. So I vote for Ron to keep these information sources available for all us ole farts.
