[OutVoice] A final warm wish

[Ronald Waite]

My dear friends,



I have been sending out daily birthday e-cards and posting daily reminders 
of the birthdays of LGBT musicians, recording artists and supporters for 
nearly ten years. The time flew by quickly and now I find myself needing to 
spend more time on other aspects of my life. Therefore I am letting you know 
that as of 1/1/11, I will NO longer be sending out daily birthday reminders 
and e-cards. My faith in and support for LGBT musicians, recording artists 
and supporters remains as strong as ever, I have just literally run out of 
time.



I took it upon myself to start sending these birthday wishes and over the 
last decade I have amassed a list of over 780 names in my database. I have 
added the birthdates of other LGBT individuals and even created a database 
of birthday-related quotes. It has been a pleasure to have been allowed to 
volunteer for this task for so long. During this time I have had the good 
fortune to meet a number of these beautiful individuals, enjoy the results 
of their incredible talents and even become their friends.



I wish to thank OutVoice, which provided me with a forum through which I 
have been able to transmit my "warm wishes."



I will continue to keep an eye on all of you, try to stay in touch and don't 
be surprised if I occasionally send out another e-card or two. Thank you all 
for allowing me to come into your lives for all of these years. Happy New 
Year and Happy Birthday to all of you.



Peace and hugs!

Ron "Ran" Waite
