Today, we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. It makes me reflect on my ancestors (7 were on the Mayflower) and how a small group of courageous individuals boarded their ship in England to seek a better life. Not only did they survive the ordeals that faced them, they flourished and set in motion this special day to be thankful.
Using the Mayflower as an example, the Good Ship OGF set sail less than three months ago. The folks on board were also seeking a better experience where they would be free to participate in a model train forum that is community based rather than something else and be reflective of an environment that considered the membership as our priority.
Yes, our Founding Members were very optimistic about the future, but we had no idea as to how quickly our Mission Statement would resonate with so many of you. So, a big thank you to all of you who have made this happen. We value every single member. Now, we can look forward to 20,000 posts, and believe me, at the rate we are growing, it won’t take three months. How about 50,000 by the end of 2020. Now that would be something to look forward to.
So, this Thanksgiving Day, we indeed have a lot to be thankful for.
