This website has lost a long-serving dedicated tracker who offered a friendship to many.

It was HE who got me involved in this website when I received one of his STAMPED (yes, STAMPED😉) notes. After entering his ‘hit’, I read up on the website and decided to join. It was Mark who gave me my first stamp to use after I inquired as to where he got his stamp. Mark was always there to answer any & all questions concerning the website.
I continued to enter my maximum daily entries over & over (even bugging the crap out of Pooga as to when I would get promoted and receive a higher entry-level).
As I continued, I eventually got promoted and received continued entry-level limits. That pushed me harder to continue to climb the ladder. Eventually, I climbed as high as getting to #2 position, behind who else but Mark😊.
Mark continued to creep away from me more and more every day. Not knowing why, Mark eventually told me that with his position, his daily entry limit was higher than mine. So I continued my entries, and once again, pestered Pooga as to when I would get my final promotion and limit increase. Finally, that day came. Now I was further motivated!
Mark and I had a friendly banter going back and forth between us.
One day Mark decided that he ‘needed a rest’ & was “stepping away” and challenged me to try and take his crown/throne. The gauntlet was thrown down! Now I was all I in!!
I worked long and hard and eventually made it to the top of the ladder, taking away his beloved crown/throne.! 😊 Mark even congratulated me in doing so!
I continued entering, pulling further and further ahead of him for as long as I could (I strongly believe that it was as long as HE would let me!😉)
Mark came back and we fought it out for a while until Mark was able to once again retake his #1 position, regaining his crown/throne.
I decided to move to Mexico & enjoy retirement. I continued entering notes with the notes I took down with me, but always followed the website, never losing interest.
3 1/2 years later, we decided to return to Canada. It was Mark who was first to welcome me back and convince me to continue participating on the website.
So, again I had to start back up. The rest is history!!

MARK: Thank you for being the close friend that we became. May the good Lord welcome you with open arms into his kingdom. I know you’ll be looking down upon us. I promise you that I’ll continue to make entries and to keep this site alive! RIP my friend. You’ll be missed by many. ♥️
