Howdy all,

As the title suggests, Sean (your fearless FTE SoCal leader) is moving back to IL.

My daughter and grandkids are there and I can be unemployed in IL as easily as in CA.

Been fixing up the casa non stop; I'm hoping it will sell fast.

Thus, we'll be needing a new chapter leader. Pm me if you have any questions.

I've tried to follow in Steve Bricks footsteps; his best advice to me was 'don't take the job too seriously and have FUN!' It's been fun getting to know y'all and no doubt I'll pester your all topic threads with my adventures in IL.

Thx for being a fantastic and active chapter!

 

First, thanks for the reps you gave me here not too long ago.

But more thanks for being the Chapter leader, the great posts, pics, stories etc. I wish you the best of luck back in "Ill and annoyed" as I once impertinently referred to it.

Happy trails!

 

Damn Sean, I thought for sure we'd have many more shared times of dune hopping and beach adventures!

Hey, at least I got to shake your hand and kick back at a campfire or two with you.

Unemployed? You retire from that company that sent you all over the place?

Here is the thread for anyone interested in the chapter leader position

Hate to see ya go! sadly your story sounds a lot like many other people i talk to story, rolling up the carpet and gettin outta dodge.

thanks for helpin me out with my first Coleman lanterns and sending me down another crazy road of collecting lanterns!

 

I am glad to see you go Sean, you deserve it. You are very family oriented and an obvious builder of people and minds, Illinois will be a better place because of you.

 

Sean, I'm sad to read that you are leaving the land of fruits and nuts...good luck in IL

It won't be long before you'll sayin' to yourself: Where in IL am I?

 

Thx Bill, great idea. I've no doubt a few here could ID those IL sites.

 

I can understand getting out of LaLa Land. But IL? Isn't that jumping out of the frying pan and hitting the coals? But family is important, so that makes sense. It's about the only thing keeping me around here.


Gonna miss your leadership.

 

Wish you all the best in IL. Won't be the same without you in So Cal. You couldn't talk the family in to coming out here? Seriously,though, have a safe trip, and don't be a stranger.

Rumor has it that you can never REALLY retire from undercover special agent CIA operative jobs.

Just saying...

I mean, c'mon, you really fell for the whole "Clark Kent glasses" trick?

Pfft, I am no slouch

 

I can see "someone" doesn't know how to talk about Fight Club without talking about Fight Club.

I've got a few of these stashed in case they want me back.

 

when ya fixin to ride outta town sean? seems like everyone i come across is in some sort of planning stages of moving to friendly states... even my boss is in early stages of planning, fixing, selling stuff stages...just got the word last week.

 

Just depends on how quickly the casa sells Justin; listing later this month.

No doubt there are just as many moving to Kali, though it seems to be leveling off.

I am kinda bummed I'm gonna miss the 7.3 quake.
