Dave thanks these people
I wish to start by thanking God for making me who I am - Together we're still working on the final product.
I wish to thank my Mom and Dad, and basically my whole family for their support. Why didn't you tell me being a parent was so hard? Fun, but hard.
The following people are in no specific order. They are listed in the order that I thought of them, or in the order that I had dealings with them. The more recent people are found at the end. That way you have a reason to look through everyone.
I wish to thank my family, specifically my cousins (and there are too many to list, so I won't even try). Through good and bad, thick or thin, near or far, you've always been there for me, and I hope in some way I've been there for you.
My friend, then wife, now friend again Tammy, for sharing some of the best times of my life.
My very bestest friend Danielle for just being there when I "REALLY" needed someone (You know when that was Boo), and for being there just because. And I want you to know that I'll always be there for you.
The Audio/Visual Tech at my high school, Sellon. It was with your guidance and instruction that a lot of my skills were fostered.
Yourlanda (strange spelling, I know) for putting up with me since 1984 and also for letting her son Clarence be a part of my life - he and I did a lot of growing up together. 20+ years later, and we're still growing up.
My man Dorian needs thanking too! We've been through a lot, and whenever I needed him, he's been there.
My "Mini-Wife" Dara. We share a lot of our lives with each other, and help keep one another going when things get rough.
Very extra special thanks go out to Michelle. Thanks for helping me to keep my head up when everything around me was trying to get it down. Thanks for understanding, and helping me to understand. Also for offering a "calm port during stormy times".
Thank you Tammy (not my ex, but a good friend). You've helped me in ways you'll never know, and I'm glad that I could help you.
Mike, Mary, and Leah for being just really great people (you should meet them). Congrats for Emma!
Neveen, Nichol & Alice, and Kabaka for being really great friends and for caring enough to be concerned.
Michael (you know who you are) for introducing me to EarthLink, live rock and roll, and Honey Brown. Also, can't forget the exciting (and fast) world of cable modems. Let's go shooting sometime soon.
Thanks to Nadine for being a genius and sharing some of her knowledge with me. She is a true "Sun Goddess".
Lucille, Sheela, and all the folks at F & S Auto Parts for all their great service. I'll need more, so see you soon!
Mitch and the gang at Capital Computer Solutions, Inc.
Can't forget Bill for his guidance or Belva and Kathryn for the parties.
Let's not forget the gang at the Livonia Chi-Chi's - There are just too many people to mention here so you just have to stop in!
Jasmine and Alaysia need thanking too. They help (and are helping) me to keep things together.
Armenta and Audrey for the great peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (I'm still hungry).
Armenta again for letting Jasmin be a big part of my life! Thank you!
Melvin and Michael, as well as Cromwell for all types of stuff.
Rob, Scooter, Allison, Tonya, and Grady for those wild weekends!
Chuck for the opportunity to work on some special projects.
Thanks to Tiffany and LaToia for sharing the good times with me and the girls.
That anonymous flasher. Long story.
Leslie for picking up lunch for me when I couldn't walk across the parking lot. I was busy. Congratulations!
Leslie again for bringing me lunch when I was in a meeting and couldn't get out (My stomach thanks you too).
Barb and Karen for allowing me to get back out of jail once I was inside.
Robert and Cecily for helping me to advance professionally. Thinking about your guidance and convictions helped me out quite a bit at times.
Bill for helping me quit smoking. I've started smoking again, but I'm still working on stopping - Don't Quit Quitting! UPDATE - I didn't quit quitting. In fact, I quit again and I feel great!
Betty and Naveed for the opportunities to strengthen my computer skills.
Sala, Kareena, Jennifer, and Vanita - they helped to keep things light around the office. I wish you all good luck in the future.
My new friend Monica. I've only known her a short time, but it seems like we've been friends for years. Congratulations to you and Bill! I wish you many happy years together. And thanks for introducing me to Kourtney.
John Engler for passing the CCW Law and the folks at Alexander's Gun Shop for the training so that I could get one.
Natalie needs thanking, Ellis needs spanking, and Lakeya needs a lot of other things! They all bring a delightful cheer to the office (when they are around). Thanks!
Tanisha brings a youthful joy to the office. Plus it's fun listening in on her phone conversations.
Thank you Shelley, for showing me that there's more to life than my PCs. Michelle told me the same thing, but going out with you actually showed me. Let's do it again.
Thanks once again to Armenta. I couldn't shoot myself, but I'm glad you could. Also, thanks for introducing me to Tony at the auto dealership. Thanks!!
My very extra special, favoritest cousin Donna for making me feel at home even though I was 2,600 miles from home.
Thank you Colette. You've shown me that loving someone is easy. And easier when they love you, too.
Thanks to Shari, Dedra, and once again to Natalie. They make the workplace quite fun.
Diana brings a sense of serious humor to the office. Thanks, it's refreshing.

Let us not forget Marvina! She's just a great person in general.
Thank you Ken (you know who you are) for allowing me to assist in the perfection of your haircutting skills. As always, good, no, Great Job!!
Thank you Pat, Pat, and Shawn for including me in your business venture. I'm sure with all of us working together, it will be very lucrative!

Jasmin again, for loving me as much as I love her.
Tim, I want to thank you for assisting me with some things that were very new to me. Thank you Kau and Nichol for helping Tim to help me.
Talk about brightening the office, I can't forget Candle! She's fun.
Dr. Clark has two offices, and I would really like to thank everyone that works there. As there are just too many people, I'll just say Thanks Everyone!!!
Michelle for the most excellent gumbo, and the great conversation. It was fun. We must do it again. Thanks.
Thanks go out to Yolanda. After 20 years, it was really good to see you. We've done breakfast and lunch, now it's time for dinner. Soon, I hope (I'm hungry).
Well, Michelle and I did do it again, but this time we had Jambalaya. In fact we had it twice. And yes, it was most excellent as well, as was the conversation!! Thanks!!!
T.C. - It was great to see you again, it's been great working with you, and I'm glad I could help you out. PS - Thanks for dinner.
Very special thanks go out to Montel Williams, The MS Active Source, Biogen-Idec, McKesson Pharmacies, Angela and Dr. Fowler at my doctors office, and others I can't think of right now. I thank them for supplying me with the medicine and support to help control my MS.
Cromwell (once again) and Tema. You've welcomed me into your lives, and it's a great feeling!
Thank you Yolanda. I'm glad that I could fix your computer, thanks for all the food, and you've got a great house. Sorry I had to beat you at your own game, but it was fun. Also, thanks for the song.
Bill, lunch was great, and once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Clarence and Dorian (I thanked them before) made my birthday really enjoyable. It was good to do some reminiscing about the good old days. Thanks.
What can I say to Kayla, except thanks. It was fun to see you at the reunion meeting, and it was fun to see you when I fixed your computer. It's just been fun.
I would like to thank Lois for allowing me to help her out, for everything she has done to help me out, and I want her to know that I will gladly help her out whenever.
Sheralyn, thanks for celebrating Cinco de Mayo (as well as your birthday) with me. I've had nothing but great times with you and look forward to many more. Thanks for being the friend that you are.
Thank you Nova for letting me give you something I had, and doing something I like - filling your musical void. Glad you like it, and glad I could help.
Michelle once again. Your talking to me has helped me to decide to quit smoking and to start working out. Now, we'll be together for years. Thanks.
Thank you Portia. It's been years, and you still think of me when you need computer help. It was good to see you and the gang, and I look forward to doing it again real soon!
Anthony and Sandra. Thanks for letting me help usher you into the digital world. I'll help you as best I can, but don't get lost out there!
Michelle (yes, the earlier one) to helping me out with some legal matters. Thanks! (There have been a lot of Michelle's in my life. Go figure.)
Misha (who is an aspiring Psychotherapist) brings some humorful seriousness to the office. She makes me look at things in new and different ways. Thanks!
Steve and Yvonne need thanking as well. I have done some work for them, and I've gotten some good food from them - Thanks!
Brittney, Brittney, Brittney. It was a pleasure to finally meet you. We've talked briefly on the phone, but it was nothing like in person. Thanks for being you, and I wish you well in the future.
Judy has let me work on both her computer and her laptop. I’m glad that I could fix them. Thanks for calling me for the fixing, and call me whenever you need some fixing done.
I would like to thank both Morgan and Toni for letting me help solve the problems with their computers. I would also like to thank them for sharing their most excellent food and drink with me. Mmmm.
Most people go see a doctor when something is wrong. Well, I thank Dr. Clark for calling me when her computer was wrong. I'm glad I could help out.
I'm glad that I could help out Don and Michelle. If you have any questions, feel free to call me (or my assistant Anthony).
Chris, 6 months with no internet access is just unacceptable. If you have troubles again with either your desktop or notebook, let me know right away! I'll be more than happy to take care of them for you.
Thank you LaShundra for welcoming me into your computer life. I'm glad I could help you out. If you need anything else, let me know.
Thanks again go out to Portia, as well as Wanda and LaShawna. I had a great time, and I'm glad that I could help you. It was great to see you all again, and thanks for breakfast.
Thank you Tyrone! Not only do you keep my lawn looking great, but you were able to find a car for me in my time of need. Sure, the car needed some work, but with your help, I was able to get it fixed. Thanks!!
Once again, I must thank Melvin. I worked on his (and his wifes) laptop and did such a good job that he has been bringing folks by so that I can fix their computers. Thanks.
I need to thank my cousin James for introducing me to Mike at Ray's Auto Service. Mike, Ray, and Linda do great work over there! Thanks.
Thank you Alice for allowing me to be a hands-on mentor to you while you are taking computer classes. I hope I don't throw to much at you, but I know in classes they don't always throw enough.
Thank you Frank. I'm glad that I could help you with your laptop issues, and thanks for the gift card for bd's Mongolian Barbecue. It won't go to waste. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. It's not a problem.
As I type this, I need to thank myself. I've come a long way over the years. I'm not yet where I am going to be, but at least I'm not where I was.
If you read these "Thanks" closely, you'll see quite a few food references. Computers and Food go together. As I type this, I've got a Subway sub right here.
Basically, these deep and heartfelt thanks go out to any and everyone associated with anything that helped me out in any way, shape, or form.
I don't want to leave anyone out, so if you feel left out, please email me and I'll thank you too!
