He did some good things for the organization
"Some good things" as if I was a mildly productive guy who happened to pass through. I can say this without the slightest whiff of arrogance or exaggeration: the group would not exist if not for me. Maybe too many new-timers don't know it. I don't mean it in the current sense, as if it can't go on without me (although it will definitely suffer harshly, as so many people told me privately this week). I mean it in the literal sense. Back in 2004-2005, the group would never have formed nor grown beyond a few buddies hanging out online, if not for me. The museum, VCF East, the new VCF West, and most of the artifacts would not be here if not for me. "Some good things"... yeah okay, Jeff. More like "the entire thing".
