I'm really not senior enough to welcome you to this shindig . . .
Gorch,
I would say that any member who has contributed regularly for nearly two years is certainly 'senior' enough to welcome anybody to this shindig! And as ka2mxh so rightly states, you don't even need to be senior to say "Howdy!"
Thanks for being a part of our friendly group here at the JWMB!
Mrs. C 
What a pleasure to find this wonderful site. I hope I last long enough to see each section and wallow in all the offers. So much to see and so little time.
I don't mean I'm dying! I mean, there's so much of John Wayne, I'll need a long time to browse through it all.
My absolute respect to the members and the staff, and Kevin, too. We can't forget him. Thanks for all your hard work.
Hey, ka2mxh,
WELCOME to the Original John Wayne Message Board, one of the friendliest, most active forums dedicated to Duke that you are likely to find anywhere! As you can see from just the few that have welcomed you so far, our membership comes from all around the world, and as close as some miles away in the same state!
Grab a cup of coffee (or iced tea!), put up your feet, and set a spell and enjoy all the wonderful information available. You're right, it will take awhile (and SO glad to learn you are not dying - you had me worried there for a minute!).
We look forward to getting to know you better in the days and weeks to come!
Mrs. C (Chester 
is working today, but I know he would extend a warm welcome to you as well!)
