My tenure as Armorama Campaigns Administrator will come to an end at the end of the month. 2012 was not a good year for me and I've been feeling like I've been going through the motions here. I feel it's a good time to turn the duties over to someone else.

It has been a pleasure. Campaigns are s great activity where people from all over can encourage and help each other out in pursuit of a common goal.

I will still look in on Armorama every once in a while. Who knows? I may join a campaign and actually finish!

I hope you would change your mind, but understand. Would you possibly consider help running things here, to stay on as like a Co-Editor Campaign Manager?

You have opened my eyes to a lot of things here in Campaign Land and I have learned so much from you so I do hate to see you leave, but understand.

Thanks so much Gary!

Hi Gary, sorry to hear that. Thanks for all you've done here in the past and I really hope things look better in 2013 for you.

If you propose a campaign yourself, I'll be there....

Hi Gary,
Iīve only been here some 10 months, but I see you have done a lot and everyone respects you very much, me included. Thanks for your help with setting up my first campaign, itīs well appreciated.
Now lean back and take a rest, and maybe in a few months everything will look a bit better.

Hey Gary, for starters, thank you personally for helping me along with the problems I had posting the pics I sent you. Couldn't have got them here without your help and still can't. Computers are in the fix up shop or they will become row boat anchors. Second, thanks for your guidance here with the campaigns, they were a lot easier to be in and watch along. And of course, I hope that this year will be kinder and better for you. Hope to see you here when ever you can pop in. Take care my friend and be well. bob d.

Gary, you have been a great admin and will be missed. I enjoyed all of my dealings with you, concerning campaigns. Whoever replaces you has some mighty big shoes to fill. You will be missed.

Matt said what I was going to say. Gary, you are a big part of what makes Armorama great. Thanks for keeping that vigilant eye on all the threads and helping out so many people so many times! I look forward to seeing you around here later on. Enjoy your time as regular member (as I do)!
