p.s. Thank you to all those coming on deck to let us know you've survived the poundin'. We need to know that in tryin to hold this good ship together through the storm, it has benefited some of you, by encouraging you to be strong, for us all to be strong, strong in knowledge, and strong in belief. Come topside for a brief moment and let the crew know that you are still part of the 147 strong.

Let me also remind everyone that while I may have the priviledge of being called the captain of this good ship...there are no ranks here. I merely have a hand on the tiller. If it weren't me, it'd be another fine shipmate.

We're not done yet. We've got some good battles to come. But we'll face them like we've faced the rest....with guns blazing.

Proud to be part of this crew of Aurelian...sail on.
