[Public-List] The end is nigh!

[Jonathan Bresler]

George,

Thank you very much for running and maintaining the mailing lists over the
span of decades.
Your efforts provided the entire Alberg 30 community with a method of
communication and opportunities
that would never have been available to us otherwise.  As time has passed,
the effort required of you
to make sure that the mail is received, distributed, and arrived has
increased greatly.

Thank you for all you have done of so many of us for so long,
Jonathan
