I LOVE Ancient Worlds. I love the the history, the challenge and the genius of it. But most of all I love that every person is uniquely significant.

I have a deep admiration of your talents Jot for creating AW in a way that allows others to freely expand it's horizons with their own creativity, passion, ideas and teamwork to name but a few. It not only demonstrates your ability to lead without being selfish or controlling but it also is, no doubt, the reason for AW's continued success.

I liked when you spoke of AW's future. It left me with warm thoughts that I too may someday not only be an "true" ancient one, but one who has somehow helped in it's continued creation.

As I read on AW's past, I can not stop thinking of how much time out of peoples lives has been dedicated to the common goal of making AW the best it can be for anyone desiring to walk in their ancestor's shoes (or sandals). The words "Thank you" can never adequately express mine or future newbies gratitude for everyone's time and efforts but "Thank you" all just the same.

I am sure no one can even fathom how much you have sacrificed, Jot, to pursue AW's success but I am willing to bet that it would make a good book! I am forever grateful for your dedication and will always remain in awe of the significant and lovely footprint you have left on this earth.

So point me toward the next festival so I can gradually work up
enough courage to RP for reals, while feeling a bit guilty about not researching that Hellas hood once again. There's always tomarrow. :-)
