Secretary

It's June already! Love those long, lazy days... but don't forget that is a perfect time to spruce of those web pages and then show off what you have been working on!

Sadly we say good-bye to our long time friends, Barb and Bill as they make their way to pcland. Our best wishes go with them... and we'll have a crying session in the staff chat room later. Keep a stiff upper lip everyone, we'll get through this.

A great big hug and thank you to Erldene for taking over Award of Excellence; I know she will do a smashing job. We were also fortunate enough to snag The Blue Fox for our new Web Ringmaster, and consider him to be quite a catch. I am also delighted to see Judy join the team, and know she will make wonderful contributions in our Newsletter.

I hope all our HPO Mom's had a wonderful Mother's Day... now we are gearing up for Father's Day. Sorry, Bruce, the president has not approved my request for an Otter's Day.

Always love seeing new faces on the board and in the photo album. All are welcome and we love your contributions of your thoughts and opinions. Don't be shy! See ya on the board!

Poster of the Week Director

Hi gang..........

Everything has been going swell for the "Poster of the Week" dept. We just recently celebrated our 26 week poster "Review" "A" - "Z" with no repeats. (Yet!)

I really appreciate everyone contributing to make the POW Award a success and thus guaranteeing my job here at HPO. (Ha!) Happy Father's Day to all the Dads & Moms that are Dads too. Bruce

All the HPO pages are working that I know of. Please report any that aren't to me.

Lets get going on making pages and post them. On a more serious note; HPO has meant alot to me. I will miss you all very much, and I will Rusty most of all. Good luck with your webpage endeavors and don't forget HPO is fun. (I had lot's of fun with Rusty.) Bill

Award of Excellence Director

As our time on webtv comes to a close my heart grows with sadness as I write my goodbye to one of the best newsgroup on the web. We have learned so much from so many and have made alot of friends. The memories I have will be with me a life time some good and some bad , We have all grown together as a family. But as a family an off spring must from time to time fly away and grow on it's own. We may be leaving webtv and moving to computer. We still would like to hear from you. Bill has set up a massage board for those who would like to keep in contact with us.

My parting shot is Keep hpo a fun place where people can learn and still have a good time. Smile as the world smiles with you. Cry and we cry as friends. Good luck to the members of hpo and to the board of directors. May good bless each and everyone of you. You will all be in my heart forever.
