My very first time to Boston and I have to say I am really touched by the degree of kindness and helpfulness  I have received from the TER network of friends here.  The tips and advice being given to me from local hobby enthusiasts has certainly been appreciated but I especially want to express my thanks and deepest gratitude to the ladies here, (I was surprised how many!), who gave of THEIR time to share THEIR hard earned wisdom with someone who, for a short time might even be viewed as THEIR competitor! When you go out of your way to help someone who is not in a position to immediately offer you the same help in return, well, thats called good people. I am home based in Tampa Bay and hope I'll have the opportunity to give something back should any of you wish to contact me for the same reasons. Thanks!!!
