Thank you all for ten great years!

Post by daytime dave » Sat Mar 21, 2026 10:36 am

Ten years ago, I started this forum after the old forum stopped working. Since then, we have enjoyed many fine folks here. I have learned more about computers and programming and operating a forum than I ever wanted to know. I still don't know enough to do all I wanted to, but I like it the way it is.
I still enjoy supporting my favorite brand of rifle. Henry Repeating Arms makes a fine product. I first purchased a golden boy .22 and was amazed at the quality. I wanted to learn more. I found a Henry forum and joined. I've collected many Henry's since then and have had the privilege of coming to know some of the finest folks. I've only met less than a handful of members in person, yet I know so many more.
I want to thank each one of you for making this forum a wonderful endeavor. I truly think of it as a group of like minded friends sitting around a campfire.

Whether you've been a long for the whole ride, or just gotten here.
Thank you.

While I don't participate that much anymore, I look you all up almost every day. Since losing my son, and shooting buddy, I'm not shooting very much.
Dave, Gene, Mark and all, thank you for years of interest and entertainment.
Happy anniversary, and I hope for many more.

I joined a few years ago, it's one of the few forums I still belong to, and still check daily. I tell people it's a family. I believe that. Congrats Dave.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
