yes, congratulations to bill......AND congratulations to ALL those
who go on day after day in their routine, refusing to give up but
not doing anything that would make the headlines - those who go on
without worldwide support and continued pats on the back - they are
my heros.

how about everyone on the echo giving themselves a pat on the back
for a job well done.
