4 Years of ABR

[Michael Miller]

Not fishing for congratulations here, but I just noticed something- An anniversary came and went last month. Four years of ABR.

I'd like to thank all visitors and contributors. Of the latter there are hundreds- their names can be found throughout this forum and their gifts to this field of research are sprinkled throughout the site.

All who've gained something from this site owe a degree of gratitude to Mr. Ken McCanliss. It was he who gave me most of the primary source material- Keilig, von Seemann, the Biblio Generale und Admirale series, my first SS-Dienstalterlisten (9.11.44 & 1.12.1937), etc. Without Ken's material and spiritual encouragement, I could never have brought this thing (which, as I wrote in the "About this Site and Its Authors" page, began with 3" x 5" cards in a Nike shoebox when I was 15) to the internet.

Thanks again to all friends of ABR.

Sincerely,
~ Mike Miller

I was going to say "Happy Anniversary Mike & Co, keep up the great work!", but since you don't want an congratulations I will not say it :-)

Congradulations Michael! And it's still growing. On Ken, in the past he's been a great source for me. The ammount of selfless things he done for me cannot be underestimated and will not be forgotten.
He is indeed an inspiration and also a model to mould myself on. I owe him a lot and I wish I could repay him. I'm visiting America soon (about a girl ) and if half the people there are like Ken and not Bush I wouldn't want to leave, well that and the girl looks better than anything ever.
I'm sidetracking severely here, its sunny and hot in Belfast, that's a complete rarity and I think it's affected my brain.

In summary Congradulations Michael I hope I have helped in my own little way to keep things going over there and I hope to help even more.
Well Done!

Gareth

Michael -- I'd like to add my congratulations, and thanks as well. Your site is an indispensible asset for researchers during the WWII time period.

Congratulations Mike!

I too began with small filing cards when I was around 15/16 (over 30 years ago now - where has the time flown?), so I know the work involved! This Forum has indeed been a source of inspiration and an awful lot of help and information, for which I would like to thank all the contributors. Let us all jointly keep the ball rolling!

With very best wishes,

VJK
