Rodger and Christian,
Thank you so much for the kind words. I might still come back in some way or
another if things can work out elsewhere. Besides, who is going to torture
Emmerson and Yoksas about LDM and McIDAS if I don’t? ☺

Gilbert-
Nothing more I can add to what has already been said other than to express my
appreciation for your hard work and assistance over the years. Your experience
and dedication will be difficult to replace.

Dear Gilbert,
I always had great interests in your emails to the list, as they were always
very useful to all. It is like a family here! When I joined Unidata you were
already active, so it seems for me that you were always there to help and share
your tips and experience.
I wish you all the best for the future to you!! Hope we meet someday!

Hello everyone,
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm unfortunately going to have to
shut down my servers by the spring of next year before I leave the University
To be safe, I am asking all my feed sites who feed from my
.niu.edu<http://niu.edu> machines
to find another server to feed off of in the next 60 days. While these feeds
could be
going for up to a year, at that time, if they aren't shut off by then,
they will be at that time.
There is a possibility that I might be able to serve the UNIDATA community
in this way again someday. But if not, it's been a privilege and an honor
to provide NOAAport (and other) feeds for 19 years to the community, and
I want to thank my parent institution, Northern Illinois University for being
so generous in letting me feed and serve you with data for nearly two decades.
I especially want to thank Tom Yoksas, Steve Emmerson, and all of those who
have helped/interacted with me over the years at UNIDATA that helped make
my operation as successful as it was.
Until we meet again, may your skies be blue, and…oh, forget that, these are
weather people I’m talking to. Have a good lightning show, blizzard, and with
deep
appreciation, thanks to all of you, too numerous to list here who have helped me
in some way over the years.
Gilbert
