 Your husband had a vision. His vision has blossomed  and now his wife tends the garden. Thank you. If not for this site, I would not know anything and met such wonderful people. Kim (I have a son named Nick too! Hope you are both doing well.)

As is your sort of mind, so is your sort of search: you will find what you desire.

WELCOME!! WELCOME!! WELCOME!!
Your husband had a wonderful vision, and we have all benefited from his hard work. I can not tell you how much I've learned from this site and the members, even still some of your husband's original entries. Epoman gave us a precious gift. Sadly, I never met your husband, but I look forward to meeting you sometime.

 Thank you all for such a warm welcome. Some of you I learned about through my husband when he was building IHD; others I have actually had the pleasure of meeting...for the rest, I look forward to getting to know you.  I have relied on a great team of administrators, moderators, and members to keep IHD alive. I don't know what I would have done without all of the support. All of your kind words and gestures have made life a little easier and I want you to know how much Epokid and I truly appreciate it. We had a great time meeting some members for the first time and seeing familiar faces while attending the 2nd Annual IHD Meet last month. Although I am a poor substitute, I hope you find comfort in the fact that I share Epoman's vision, warped sense of humor, sarcasm, and of course -- love for the dancing banana!  thank you for being here and 'sticking' with IHD through thick and thin. Epoman started a great thing, and I fully intend to help IHD and its member continue to thrive. Please "excuse our dust" as we work on refreshing the site and keeping Epoman's vision alive.  |

I too missed being on the boards when he was alive, but felt his presence on many topics when I started. Thank you for continuing the legacy. |

Hi! You are SO welcome! Your husbands' wonderful legacy has helped so many of us and shown us that we can share and have friends, close friends, even though we may never meet. Helping each other is what it is all about. What a fantastic legacy. I am so glad you are here to continue it!
