John,
Congrats on the anniversary. Even though I have only been involved in the turner's forum for a few month's, I have enjoyed your posts and friendship. You have been a real inspiration both as a turner and a friend to many. We have had many laughs both above and below the table
You played a VERY large roll in me even getting a lathe and have served as a silent mentor since. I have enjoyed all that you have contributed and look forward to another year of your very active participation. I don't see how you do it all.... but glad you do. You are the type of person that anyone and everyone can look up to and no one can look down at.
Thanks for being John Hart!
