[Hartwood] Armada thanks:

[doerksen at island.net]

Many, many thanks to you, Cecille, for fantastic new ideas (-love- the  
water tilting!) and managing to schedule them all without anyone  
missing anything! (I'll "co-" with you any time!)

My gratitude also goes out to all those who helped to make it happen,  
both behind the scenes and in the forefront, and to those who came to  
participate. It is the joyful participation that makes our game such a  
pleasure.

happily yours in service,
Halima
