Deepan Mehta 0 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Many Thanks Dave to you and to the BoG for entrusting me with this responsibility , I do have some big shoes to fill in the wake of the work William Woo has done over the years . I'd like to thank William Woo and Norman Blackburn for their help over the years specially with VATIND . Working to help build up a Divison from Scratch has been a big learning experience , where I have had the opportunity to learn many things from some exceptionally talented fellow hobbyists . There are a whole lot of such people in Asia as we see in our Asian forums . I shall endeavour to work actively with them . Thanks again Deepan Link to post Share on other sites
