Dralyn, you've been such a driving force in the growth the Tower has gone through in the last five years, and I can't thank you enough for that service. I'm sad to see you retire as Keeper, but excited to see where we will go from here, and glad you'll get a bit of a break! Thank you, thank you.
:hug

I did not think that you were allowed to retire. :P

Thank you so very much for your tireless service. :bow



Just one question ......
Do you have to stay on if no one applies? :cheeseeni:

I guess I should say you were great, incredible, irreplaceable and it would probably be less or more true. It seemed so. And whatever I say my post will be lost(I've never really been good with words, yet I will try to convey my thoughts) among the many you're great/miss you posts, especially from people you don't really know. But people often don't realize how much of a difference they make. How you can touch someone life, sometimes in significant way, and yet you barely know them. Some people are even more salient in this than others, charismatic, in some ways indispensable. Jordan created ta'veren out of this concept. Don't forget that there are many people out there, people you've barely spoken/seen/whatevs to that you've made a significant mark in their lives. It's a remarkable thing. It is a thing I am truly jealous of.

Dear Dralyn Sedai,

You may recall that, for the Da'Covale auction at 9th Anni, I chose a theme song to play for each person when they went up for bid. You may recall that yours was "Mysterious Ways" by U2, a modern hymn to the Goddess if ever I heard one.

It still fits.

It probably always will. :)

Sincerely,
Aldus

Thank you for all of the work you have done for us, Dralyn Sedai. As others have said, whoever replaces you will have big shoes to fill. :clap

Thank you for all of your hard work helping all of the wonderful members of our community. I can honestly say that when I came back and found myself welcomed by not only Mother but also by you, I was overjoyed. I have met you and hung out with you on numerous occasions and have enjoyed every minute of it. Replacing you as Keeper of the Chronicles will be a very difficult task. Thank you for being a true Aes Sedai in real life and online. :hug

Dralyn, you have been a stellar Keeper. You are a fantastic leader--and that's a compliment I give to very few people. Thank you for the incredible amount of work you have put into this site. I hope you have a relaxing, enjoyable retirement! :hug

Dra, you have been an AMAZING Keeper and your shoes will need to be filled by a special person. I have confidence that the decision will be made wisely. You deserve your break, but I am glad to know that you are still part of the workings of TV.net corporation as the Tower Archivist. Your knowledge base and energy are vital.

Congratulations to you in your decision and best of luck in your upcoming new capacity. I love the idea of the transition ceremony occurring during Anni. :hug You are the best!!!

I almost had a heart attack when I saw this because I thought it meant (from the title) that you were retiring from the site :eek and I couldn't even fathom that, really.
