I have enjoyed the Hotline and have found it to be a valuable resource. I will be very sorry to see it go.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bob for his work in producing the Hotline every week. It was very well done and provided a convenient place to see each weeks going ons.

Thanks for all your hard work Bob. It was appreciated.

I'll echo Will's statements. The Hotline was my favorite email of the week. I'll really miss it.

Thanks for your work on it in the past Bob.

oh wow, that stinks. Sorry to hear of this Bob. If there is any way that we could lessen the impact of it please let us know.

Thank you for what you have done Bob, it was a great summary of the goings on and well put together. I fully understand the concept of demands on time and setting priorities. Again, thanks.

Same sentiments from me. I've long wondered how in the world Bob had time to do the Hotline along with his normal job responsibilities, family, AND build an airplane! Great job on the Hotline Bob! We'll all miss it!

I thought the newsletter was great for the many links to various EAA chapter newsletters.
This helps spread chapter Ideas and happenings from all over (world?)

I can fully appreciate the time it takes to put together a weekly newsletter but it
looks like you've created a market that wants your product (awsome thing), and it would be a shame to let it drop
(I'm sure you have quite a list of voluntarily submitted e-mail addresses)

How about a monthly (or bi-monthly) link-letter that just has links to various Club/Chapter newsletters?

Maybe someone can take it over?

Anyway... thanks Bob !

Bob, I am sure sorry to see your Newsletter discontinued! You have done an excellant job and I had the pleasure of meeting you at a MN Wing meeting in December 06. I was amazed how we read the your write up of MN Wing meeting that evening or the next day. Your workload to put out the RV Builder's Hotline must have been horrendous. Thanks for all your efforts and dedication. I hope we can meet and visit soon at a MN Wing meeting.

Media is a tough industry to be in. Ask me how I know. You've done a great job on the newsletter Bob. It was one of the few emails I really looked forward to receiving every week. Rather than completely discontinue I hope you would consider doing a monthly or quarterly newsletter. It's been a very valuable resource. Thanks again.

You guys are very kind. Very kind, and I've been honored to have been on some service. I've been talking with Rob Riggen, who's expressed an interest in taking on much of the work and further developing some tools. I would contribute some editorial material. We're going to talk further on this and, since I had it half done anyway, there will be one more on Saturday, hopefully that can explain what we're considering to keep it going. But I want to make sure it's a quality product that is of some value before saying "yes" or "no."

By the way, Brad Oliver, I could easily write a 600 word article, just about that wonderful picture of -- I presume -- your baby. You're a lucky man.

How can I respond to that? That's one of the kindest things I've ever heard... THANK YOU!

Brad,

I've been meaning to comment on your avatar too. How did you get that expression?!?!?!

Very cool

Thanks. She laughs every time I look at her. Either she is happy to see me, or she thinks I am funny looking.

Seriously, we have just been blessed with a very happy baby. Here's another picture.

Thanks for the pictures. My wife likes the pictures too and they make us laugh. Of course I have a little apprehension every time I think about it, (babies), as we are expecting in about 8 weeks. No hiding it now!

Aerial... congrats and good luck. Get ready, it's a wild ride!
