Good evening Jim and welcome to the forum. Stick around and Rick the Illinois Chapter leader will be along with an official greeting.
It is good here and everyone is nice and friendly. So far no one has been infected with rabies but distemper is a whole other matter! LOL
Again stick around and enjoy!

Rod
