[NCC] Tribute to W3GH

[Jim Breakall]

Hi Tom,

I just looked at everything in your tribute so far and there were parts 
of it that brought tears
to my eyes and parts that had me laughing on the floor.  I am planning 
to write something to put into the tribute
and I have to say that I don't think anyone ever had more fun or was 
more happy than Bob at Dayton.
I know that the happiest times I ever had were when Bob was around too 
at Dayton.

I stand by my statement that "Dayton will never be the same without the 
Green Hornet."

We all are really going to miss this guy so much.

Thanks Tom and you did a fantastic job putting this together so far.
