RE: I have little doubt that Don will be up to anything that is presented to him.
WOW this is really weird, because I read DB's column and read it as the following:
Dear Members, please remain fully bent over a barrell because here comes my friend DK to cram it up your muffler as I have done for several terms now. JH is no longer able to fulfill the duty of Har Schliekmeister. We appreciate your patience during this transition and look forward to bending you over a few more barrrels in the future.
Well that's what I read the first time I read it....I think I may need to read it again.
