    Hi Gene,
    
    	Geee  now we have to break in a new moderator ! We had you
    	fine tuned for all our nasty moodes, then wammo you bolt,
    	leaving us with the uncomfortable task of acting polite until
    	we break in the next moderator !
    
    	Well I hope you're satisfied !  :)))
    
    	You did a great job moderating , hope your new job works out well.
    
    	Hope to see you on the course again, keep in touch.

    Say it ain't so, Gene!!! I'm Speechless!!!!!!
    
    Good luck,
    
    Joe.

    
       I wish you the best Gene.  You will be missed by all the golf noters.
    Great job in moderating this conference and likewise, a super job in
    organizing and running various DEC tourneys.  Good luck on the tour!
           ;^)

    p.s. I already checked and we don't have room on our system for
    another notes file.

          Gene,
    
                 Let me add my hearty "Thank You" for all that you have
    done both as moderator and tournament organizer.
    
     Good luck in whatever you chose to do next.

	Gene,

	What can I say, but you'll be missed.  Thanks for the good job you've
	done moderating this file.  I know I'll certainly miss your knowledge
	as a club maker, love of the game, and of course those periodic for
	sale adds.

	May all your rounds be sunny,
	  may the wind be always at your back,
	May all your drives be long,
	  and all your putts gimmes

    You will be missed. Thanks for all your efforts over the past two
    years. Even though we never met, I feel like I've known you personally 
    for years. We had some fun talking club-making and golf in general.
    I'll also miss those "clearence sales". Looks like you could live off
    the revenue for a while if you just sold everything in your basement.
    .)- .)-
    
    In any event, best of luck to you and as they say "thanks for the
    moderating"
    
    Ken
    
    BTW: what will you be doing. Are you going into the clubmaking business
    full time? Join me in Texas for some warm weather golf anytime.
    
    

Jeezuz, you've got to be kidding, Gene. Is nothing sacred? Wherever 
you're going, whatever you're doing, I hope it's worth the pain and 
suffering you're leaving behind. I thought Moderator was a lifetime
appointment--like a seat on the supreme court.

And to think...I had the pleasure of a round with you, but never got 
the chance to pick your pockets. That's the cruelest disappointment of 
all!

Good luck, Gene. If you ever get down to play the new course at 
Sterling, give me a ring (368-0061). So at least one wrong can be 
righted.

Tom

     Same goes for me, Gene ! Hope that all the rest of your golf is on
    good courses with good guys.

    Gene,
    How am I going to replace my clubs after I wrap them around a tree?
    
    GOOD LUCK      &       send me your calling card
    
    Bert

    You have an open invite to play central Pa. anytime you wander through
    here!  Thanks for the wonderful conversations.  I'm sure your next
    endeavor will be a huge success!
    
    With highest regard...
    
    Rick  

    It is always  sad  to  learn  that  someone  who has done so much for
    DEC-golf is leaving.
    
    You have done an  enourmous  job moderating, arranging and  mediating
    this conference, whoever takes the conference is going to have a hard
    time filling in your shoes.
    
    And all those tournaments,  also showed a lot of dedication.  I had a
    great time on every single one.
    
    So Good luck and hit 'em good!!!!

    Gene,
    
    	This is sad news...you will be missed but I'm
    	sure not forgotten for a long time by many of
    	us.  Thanks for the fine job you have done
    	moderating this file and also thanks for
    	helping with the operation of CC2.
        Thanks for sharing your club building
    	knowledge with me, it was a great help!  
    
    	Most of all Gene, thanks for being a
    	friend to all of us.
    
	Best wishes,
    
    	Dave

    
       Gene,
    
       It has been fun helping you guy's out when I can with the tourneys.
       You are a great asset to this file.
       You will be missed... 
    
       Good luck in your new ventures and don't take any wooden golfballs.

    Gene,
    
    It's tough to voice any better, some of the previous replys. May the
    wind always be at your back. If you ever need a favor be sure to contact
    me. I will do my best.
    Best of luck to you and Pat.
    
    Rich

    Gene,
    
    We've never met either....not surprising as i'm noting in
    Ireland....but i've enjoyed your conference very much, and hope that it
    will be looked after in the future as well as you have done upto now.
    
    On behalf of the noters on the other side, let me wish you the best in
    the future.
    
    Martin

    
    	Thanks for all the kind words...
    
    	Larry Warfield has offered to take the conference if there aren't
    	any other offers, which there haven't been so far. If anybody
    	wants to take over the conference and has a home for it please
    	let me know soon...
    
    	RE:.2
    
    	Jim,
    
    	I will get somebody from the Hoodkroft league to run the 1991
    	league tourney (don't know who yet).
    
    	Which brings up another opening... Would anybody like to volunteer
    	to take over the overseeing of the league tourney that I started
    	up two years ago? I would like to see it continue and hopefully
    	expand, but it needs somebody to help drive it and to help ensure
    	that things run smoothly... Any volunteers...?
    
    	Regards
    	Gene

    Gene,
    
    Good luck!  From Hoodkroft to Bretwood...a lot of fun.....does this
    mean there will not be another Kelley Open at Bretwood next summer???
    
    Linda

    Gene, every thing I could or want to say has already been said.  I can
    only say all the same goes for me too. 
    God Bless.
    Stuart

    Listen, you part timer!  You can't leave without our permission.  As
    the earlier notes stated, this is a lifetime position and only we can
    allow you to leave.
    
    I just checked with everyone and it's OK. You can leave but you must
    log into your wife's account once per year in April to give us your
    silly prediction on who will win the Masters (1991, let em guess,
    Zinger).
    Seriously, best of luck and I'll be sure to call you for CC III so
    you can help me lose our annual $30 in side bets!!  Stay in touch.

    I wish it was'nt so but good luck Gene!
    
    				Best Regards Phil

    Best of luck Gene.  Write if you get work. ;-)  This is the second
    moderator of golf that we've lost, do the new moderators understand the
    curse?  Gene you should have told them. :-}  Anyway I hope that the
    future holds all the best for you.

>	told them. :-}  

Gee as I remember it Gene's handicap dropped noticably after becoming the
moderator, you call that a curse!  

						Larry

    Larry,
    
    	I knew Gene when...  His handicap was high (for him) when he took
    over as moderator.  When it went down it was just a "market adjustment"
    Of course I'm sure that even now it's higher than it will be next year
    at this time. :-}
    
    
    
    						KO

    
    Geez Larry,
    
    I thought it went down to due playing more, working at it, AND because
    I made myself clubs that fit me and my game... I should have realized
    it was because I had become the moderator of the GOLF notes file... ;-)
    
    Any ways I hope Al's and your handicaps both drop...
    
    
    Regards
    Gene

    Gene, where are you leaving to?

    
    Phil,
    
    See note 367.27... or on some course some place... 	;-)
    
    
    Gene

       I just learned today that Gene has found a different work home; I
       can only add to the chorus that both this conference and the
       company will miss him.  It's been a pleasure knowing Gene, from
       the old league at Amherst to a few GOLF.NOTE ventures to a few
       rounds here and there in the soggy northeast.   Best wishes to
       him.
