It's been a blast, folks. This year has been somewhat quieter than some of
the past years, so my job hasn't been as taxing as it might have been.
Nevertheless, I have participated in some excellent and in-depth
discussions, have helped some newbies become not-so-newbies, and I hope I've
been able to pass on some of my knowledge. I know I've sure learned a lot.
(I won't be going anywhere, though; I still have a lot to learn.)

vIHoy'qu'bej. ter'eS has been active in the Klingon community for far longer
than I have, and his contributions to Klingonism at large (including a
flashcard program, two short films, and a number of contributions to HolQeD)
are widely known. He shows a great deal of proficiency with the language,
and I think his call-up to BG duty is well due. ter'eS, batlh jutoy'jaj!
