Can I echo all the congratulatory comments, and add a short one of my own?

I too have made quite extensive use of the FreeBMD search facilities over
the years, and have recently joined the band of transcribers as I feel that
in some small way I can give something back.

This award is richly deserved. Many congratulations, and thank you too
Camilla for your kind words of encouragement. It is certainly nice to be
appreciated!

Sue
