Welcome Bob Smith aka Silverspur
« on: January 22, 2014, 10:34:55 AM »
I'd like everyone to welcome Bob Smith aka Silverspur as a new Moderator to Osage Roost. Bob's been a great member for a long time. Jon and I look forward to working with Bob to make Osage Roost the best it can be. Bob will be replacing Steve Torman aka West Augusta. Steve's been a great asset to Osage Roost as a moderator for the last 4 years. Good Luck Steve.  *cheers*

And Steve- your stint was a long one friend. I am sure I am not alone publically saying what a asset you were to guarantee the site lived on and flourished in the events you Speer-headed!!
We all thank you for your dedication in our benefit here on Osage !!!

I kinda think- with Bobs addition- we may qualify for federal funds from the current administration sense we hired a man with his AARP card  *lol* *peep* ;)
thanks again Steve for all you gave and welcome Bob

Congrats Bob.  I think.  *lol*
I think you will make a great and fair moderator.  You know where to find me should you need anything.
Thanks to all that have sent emails and pm's.  I know who my friends are.
Plus, I ain't going anywhere. Just taking some time off to get ready for Nashville.  See you there if you go.

I would like to acknowledge the great job that Steve Torman has done for this site over the last 4 years. God bless you Steve for your perseverance over the years.   God help me to endure this new venture.

A little info about me.  I am not a call maker or a call collector but I have a great appreciation for those that have the talent to craft any of the “tools of the trade”.   I only consider myself a turkey hunter that has a passion for everything about the sport.  

As Shadetree alluded to, I work in the nuclear power industry were rules, regulations and procedures are important for public safety and health, as well as, individual safety and health.   If these are not followed there are serious consequences or worse yet a significant event.    Osage Roost has 7 simple rules to follow and they are there for a reason.  As a new moderator, I can assure you we will follow them and be aligned on their implementation.   If you’re not familiar with them, then I urge you to review them.  Thanks!

This is a position that I did not seek out but was asked to help out the other two moderators when Steve decided he needed a break.    I actually turned it down several times due to my work load and this will still be a balancing act for me as my real job is 24/7.

My hope is that we can all get along and enjoy everyone’s talent and occasionally have some fun, which I have been known to do from time to time.   Please treat each other with respect as we were taught from childhood.   If you have issues with me or anyone else, let’s not address them in this public forum but work through them in a professional manner off line.   This site has been great ever since Mike Porter had a vision on what it should be let’s continue that as we move forward.
I could say more but I am waiting for my AARP check so I can go get more Geritol.    Hope to see many of you in Nashville.
Bob

Bob, congrats on the "promotion". I like what you already said about "being neither a call builder or collector", just everything about hunting turkey. Fabulous jumping off statement, way to hit the road running. That's whats needed to keep an un-biased eyeball or two on things here.. Being "just a turkey hunter" is perfect for your new MOD position.
