I have been enriched a thousand times a thousand and am even afraid to start trying to name names of my wonderful FT friends who make my life so much happier, because I could never name them all.
My dear, now departed to a better place, friend
johna who graciously sent me my very first UAL upgrade when I first switched airlines.
The whole
WWW.www crew, who were my very first face-to-face FlyerTalk party friends--

Mauld.
