Another Important Announcement!

Posted on July 22, 2013 by Bill Bennett

Another drum roll please…

Arlene Mourier has agreed to come on as a Moderator on the PGS The Way Camino forum!

http://www.pgsthewayforum.com/forum

Arlene has been an active and supportive contributor to this blog, and was an “early adopter” of the forum. She heads up the Old Pueblo (Tucson Arizona) Chapter of the American Pilgrims on the Camino Association – and so will bring all her experience and commitment to The Way to the forum.

I now have two very cool moderators – Arlene and Sister Clare.

Thank you guys!

Bill

    Hi Bill – did you mean ‘llama’ as in tallish, cute and woolly animal? If you did, and it’s not some crazy ‘in’ joke between you and Steve (!), why not check out ‘Better Homes and Gardens – Pet Llama’ on youtube … Dr Harry visits Glynda Bluhm, the Llama Lady at Sutton (NSW Southern Highlands) … the clip is hilarious. Glynda may be able to steer you in the right direction to find your ‘leading lady or man’! You can also contact her on her email which is sales@alpacamagic.com.au. All this was found by me in a couple of seconds because I was bemused by the reference to ‘a suitable llama’ in your post!
    Good luck! Jenny

Dear Bill, you say “thank you guys”, but surely, you’ve noticed that they’re both … in a manner of speaking “women”, if not “girls” … just saying!!! And, thanks Arlene for taking this on for us all along with Sister Clare. Can’t wait to see where, having 2 such strong, intelligent and compassionate women as moderators, will lead the PGS Forum – good times ahead 🙂

  Thank you for your compliment, I hope I can live up to all three qualities.
  
  I’m so enjoying this blog and now the honor of being Moderator on the Forum has simply blissed me out. I will work my best to live up to standards of the Forum.

  Ah Britta, yes I had noticed you were of the female gender.
  
  I am a trained observer.
  
  I use the term “guys” in a non-gender specific way, to connote a certain affection tone, in no way wishing to diminish the historical achievements of those of our species with your particular chromosome configuration.
