Wow Johnny, what a wonderful and inspiring post! Yes I remember you in red!
As a current member admin to a former one, I hope you might come back and give us the history of that little donkey that is symbolic of KA - you have totally piqued my curiosity - did you design it?

If once-upon-a-time I have heard it before, I've forgotten.
I am beginning to think we need to write multiple books when we can barely imagine the work of one! Love your encouragement and enthusiasm and appreciate your taking the time to detail your thoughts for all of us. It is definitely striking a chord for so many who care about KA with such pride. The history of this place is incredibly special.
I was hoping to read your weird symptoms update too, I think in your passion for this you forgot!
Hugs of thanks,
