Full Version: The latest change in the Admin Team
The Fountain Pen Network > All News > News
FPN Admin Team
As it has been an unwritten rule since the beginning of FPN that any Admins can retire from duties whenever they choose to, it is then with much regret that we announce the departure of Maja from the Administration Team.

On behalf of everyone here at FPN, we would like to thank her for all her time and effort that she has put in during her tenure and it is obvious that her presence within the Team has been greatly appreciated by all FPNutters.

However, the bright, silver lining here (well, rhodium plating over 21K Gold ) is that Maja will be replaced by one of our equally respected senior members. We hereby announce the arrival of Gerry as our latest Admin Team member.

A warm welcome to Gerry, please!


Your FPN Admin Team
Velma
Thank you, Maja!

And welcome, Gerry!

I now have this image of all of you online at the same time, ceremonial nib-shaped hats on, stoles in various colors (Noodler's, Sheaffer old stock, Penman Sapphire) draped around your collars, having a serious online meeting.

Who told you about the nib shaped hats?!

My stole is PR plum.

Congradulations Gerry! Isn't it true that the newest admin has to wear the sorting hat till he/she earns their nibs? It talks to you during meetings and is very grumpy.

Gaaaak, nobody said anything 'bout that! angry.gif

But then again, as Denis has pointed out - some things are best left as post sign-on surprises... <_<

Seriously, I'm really glad to be here, and hope that I can uphold the sterling example set for me by all my predecessors.

I trust the general membership will be tolerant if the sorting hat's grumpiness ever pokes through enough to be visible. smile.gif

Best to all,

Gerry

Thank you, Maja for all that you did as an admin member and all you do as a member of FPN, you are another example of why this board is the high quality place that it is - generous, kind, even-handed.

Fortunately, your "replacement" wink.gif is of equal quality on all of those so traits. We are very fortunate to have had Maja on the team, and very fortunate now to have Gerry joining them.

Thanks to all of you for your behind the scenes efforts.

Thanks to the membership of this group for making it such a wonderful place to want to be in the first place!

Maja, hate to see you retire...we'll miss your red stole! smile.gif Hope you'll still have time to enjoy the board, and thanks for taking a turn as an admin.

Gerry, no doubt you'll do a good job as an admin with all that helpful knowledge tucked under that sorting hat! Thanks for taking on the job.

Best, Ann

Lots of succes to you Gerry !
Maja
Thank you so much, everyone...and a big CONGRATS to the newest admin, Gerry (and all the other new admins--Karin, NoSnow, Grasshopper---of course smile.gif ). I figure since Gerry is a Canuck too, it was a one-for-one swap laugh.gif
