Ten years ago, I thought of myself as a bit of a "pragmatic Tesla  
coil expert", in that I knew what worked well and what didn't,  
although I wasn't up on all the new developing theories.

Under Terry's watchful eyes, and often with injections of his own  
experiments and theory as well, the information exchanged among, and  
the experiments performed by, the list members have advanced the  
state of the art far beyond my skill level (and even financial ability).

I am astounded at what can be achieved by modern solid state coils,  
and very impressed with even the things we have all learned about  
efficient design methods for classic old spark gap coils too.

None of this would have been possible if not for Chip creating, and  
Terry's hard work maintaining, our list for so long.

I've seen with my own eyes some of Terry's innovative designs when he  
has brought them to the monthly meetings of the Denver Mad Scientists  
Club at my house.  And I hope to see more of them at future  
gatherings, too.

To sum up, Terry, your moderation will be missed, but I'm happy to  
hear that we'll still have the benefit of your participation in the  
community.  We missed you last night, but I hope we'll see you at one  
of the coming meets soon.  Perhaps we can talk you into bringing your  
new four-ball-terminal coil with you!

sincerely,
