A personal salute to the former F.A.

Back around 2001 I was a member of Star Fleet. Playing mostly SFC 2. I came across a young (younger than he told us he was in fact), but tallented piolet. I recruited this young man into SF myself. He was eager but there was a slight language barrier. He told me he would work on his english. With in a month he was typing in english like it was his native tounge.
He hung around SF for a while, then to my surprise he started his own fleet. (Federation Command I think). We gamed together for several years. When I got Elite Force I had problems with the set up of it. I alowed this young man access to my computer through a chat program. That is the level of trust I had in him. He only looked at what he needed, told me what to do to fix it, and I was up and running in no time. I never did reach his level of expertise at that game. He took ME under HIS wing and made me a better player. My pupil had become my teacher.
Later when tragidy struck. Picard, T.P., and Jesse were there for me. They helped me through a very rough time. A person none of them had actually ever met. but I digress.
Former Fleet Admiral Picard.
I salute you my friend. You are an oustanding gamer, and you are an exceptional man. I am proud to count you amoung my friends. May you find every thing you hope for. You deserve it.
