Just checked the stats counter and the blog has passed 300 000 page views which is quite impressive, but good to see after the years of research and writing that went into creating this blog.

Thanks for visiting and reading, and remember I'm always interested in updates on any of the GA Presidents featured on this blog.

A small milestone in terms of other blogs of mine, but pleasing to see the interest in the people who have held the post of GA Presidents. they have done some remarkable things in their cumulative lives. I wish I had more on some of the earlier Presidents, so any additional insights are always welcome to be added. I've spent some time this summer updating quite a few Presidents' entries.
