David and Diane,
Sorry for a slow response to your announcements, but I wanted to congratulate both of you on your efforts in first establishing AFF with others and then continuing and building AFF to be a fantastic forum for interaction among finch enthusiasts across the country. Particularly for young or new enthusiasts, AFF is an important mechanism to connect to a wealth of experience. So, on behalf of QFS, NFSA and me personally, thanks and well done.
Gary
