Justin A. Martin Posted August 21, 2008 at 02:38 AM Posted August 21, 2008 at 02:38 AM I agree. Jon has done a great job as USA3, but my question is what about the new material he has been working on? Thanks again Jon for all of your commitment to VATUSA and best wishes to you and all of your future endeavors. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Wollenberg 810243 Posted August 21, 2008 at 05:13 AM Posted August 21, 2008 at 05:13 AM While we haven't seen eye-to-eye on everything Jon (as you are well aware ), I would like to thank you for your service. You were always open to criticism or advice, and that's really half the battle when it comes to leadership. Staff positions are brutal and always take a toll on us, but I hope after a much needed vacation that you plan on sticking around and controlling. Get back to the fun stuff, and leave the paperwork to someone else. Bryan Wollenberg ZLA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Standley 845310 Posted September 5, 2008 at 01:14 AM Posted September 5, 2008 at 01:14 AM Thank you all for your extremely kind comments. I enjoyed every minute of my job as VATUSA3. The changes that I started I hope will carry long into the future to further enhance this great hobby that we all enjoy while still maintaining the "having fun" attitude! It's been a pleasure to work with all of you and in my VATSIM retirement I'm sure I'll run into you all in the skies or wherever I decide to plug in at. Btw Jeff, I think the only person who's been around longer than you is Harv But you and Scooter were great teachers and I carry that knowledge you p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ed onto me every day. Thanks everyone and remember to keep having fun! That's why we're all here! Jon Jon Standley Private Pilot ASEL/AMEL/IFR/LTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
