To Jim whose wife Carol has run foul of lifes challenges I understand the step you have had to make. The only thing one takes out of this life is family.

May you be protected and insulated from harm to progress and enjoy.

Peter and Wilma.:thumbs:

Thanks for the comments everyone it means a lot .. I will of course be popping in now and then, and who knows i could be back one day making pens .. I feel good knowing that the forum is left in good hands and that Phil is the man to take it to the next level. I have made some great memories and friends in here and remember, this place is what it is because of all of you ..

Take Care ..

On a final note, Carol is very much improved and is almost back to herself once again, which has helped influence this decision and change our outlook on life ..

Jim

Our association has been a short one but a very fulfilling one. I am continuously amazed by your talent. You made me strive to do better. My friend I wish your and your bride health, well-being and happiness. Perhaps our paths will pass.
