You're a hard man to live without, Gerard. I can't wait until you're back.
Posted by Harvey at August 1, 2004 11:29 AMYou're a smart man, sir.
Posted by Scott Chaffin at August 1, 2004 7:46 PMGo and soak it all in, brother. Refill your tank, recharge your battery and renew your spirit.
And don't worry about us; I think we'll all be right here, waiting, for when you return.
Thank you for what you do here, Gerard. And many thanks to your gracious family for sharing you with us.
Every word is appreciated, every thought conveyed, a treasure.
Yeah, we'll be here. Count on it.
