With the recent and unfortunate resignation of Tallbear from his long standing duties as Administrator of these forums, I find it necessary to appoint a new Administrator. I didn't have to look far however as one of the existing forum staff was already well qualified for the role. Our new Admin's dedication and service to this community is well known and recognized. In addition, he is well respected and has an accurate and comprehensive grasp on the history, principles and traditions of this community and organization.
Please welcome PhotoTom as our new Administrator.
******************************
Lastly, I wish to publicly thank Mike "Tallbear" Thiede for his past service to this organization. Many of the members here may not realize this but it was Mike who single-handedly took on the responsibility for bringing back this organization from the edge of collapse several short years ago. He has worked hard promoting this organization and its mission to the benefit of all Michigan's gun owners. The recent and continued growth and success of this organization is in no small part due to Mike's vision and tireless efforts at promoting, organizing and leading the charge. Mike is a born leader and has no trouble making the tough decisions no matter how popular or unpopular. He has always put this organization ahead of his own self interests. If there is a face and father of MGO, it is indeed Mike Thiede.
Thank you Mike.

MGO Internet Administrator
