I want to let everyone know that I'll be stepping down from my role as moderator on the Central States forum, effective today. It has been difficult for me to find the time to participate as I have in the past, and feel that there are others that could serve more effectively.

If anyone has an interest in assuming this role, you should email Jim Erhardt to learn more about the details.

I want to especially thank my good friend Wayne Rhodus for his past contributions as a moderator on the forum, and David Bush for his early work in making this a great place for the exchange of information. And last, but certainly not least, thanks to all of you for your support. :wavey:

Bill, thank you for all the work you have done making CSNP one of the best regional forums on NPN. Your beautiful imagery and insightful comments have helped us all take a closer look at our work and become better photographers.

CSNP has come a long way since I joined it back in 2004 and many participants have come and gone. It's a good time to turn the reigns over to the new blood and let them take CSNP in whatever direction they see fit.

Bill, many thanks to you for all you have done. And thanks to all the members of CSNP who have made it a wonderful ride for me. :wavey:

Sorry to hear this news! I hope this doesn't mean that we wont be seeing your beautiful images here! You will still be a member of CSNP, right? Thanks for all the hard work that you have put in! I don't think that I would have stayed a member if the quality of members and their comments were any less. We all grow from learning from the vast knowledge of one another and this forum has been number one for me.

I hope to catch you out on the trails!

Thanks Wayne and Mike. Mike - I plan to continue as a member, but just have so many other commitments and chores to do, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to post or comment. Right now, I'm about two weeks behind!

Bill, your work has always been great behind the camera and in this forum as well. Thank you for all your time and effort to make this a great place to learn and grow. Now get your butt caught up before spring gets here!

Bill, you will be missed. Maybe I will bump into you in the woods or at a gathering or something. Let us know when that OHT section needs attention again.

Bill, thanks for your work. We plan to do a lot of traveling so I won't be volunteering. Hopefully someone will step forward.
