<DIV><FONT size=4>Thanks for the fine summary of what turns out to be my
thoughts concerning this section Brent. and thanks for your service on the
BOG. I think the proper etiquette is to not regularly clutter the
list-serve with thank you emails... I hope that is correct because I feel bad
about not sending many many thank you emails... but I wanted to use this
opportunity to thank everyone for your past a future help to me and my clients.

<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif">I joined this
section about 5 years ago. Because of the collegiality I saw, I began to
volunteer my time back to the WSBA. I did so because of the continuous giving
nature of members of this section and their willingness to step forward with
ideas, suggestions, recommendations, guidance. </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif">Last week, I
posted a query pertaining to a Will changing beneficiary designations as I was
contacted by a client to help with a last minute Will. </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif">I have to
recognize the outpouring of support from those who posted responses to the list,
who wrote to me privately, and who called me into the night to talk about issues
relating to helping with "deathbed" bequests. I left the world of
insurance coverage because I wanted to have a better impact on the world. What
occurred last week is exactly why I do what I do. </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif">I don't know
everything - far from it - and once again the people on this List have stepped
forward in a way that is truly demonstrable of the community that we are as
colleagues. </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif">To any young/new
practitioners who are reading this. Never be afraid to post. Never hesitate to
reach out and say you don't know something. The members of this section will
step up as they are able to share their experiences, knowledge, forms, proposed
languages, pitfalls, warnings. In short - this section has your back. </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif">If you do not
follow WSBA matters closely, you may not know that this past Fall I assumed the
role of Governor of the 8th District to the WSBA Board of Governors (feel free
to send any thoughts on bar issues/matters to my designated BOG email <A
target=_blank>brentwr.bog@gmail.com</A>). I took that step forward because I
want to continue to give back to the legal community as a whole and have the
same impact on our profession as so many of you have for me. As one of my
liaison assignments, I specifically requested the RPPT section so that I can
advocate and represent the people of this section to the greater WSBA
world. So please, if you have any issues with the WSBA - send me a message
to the above-email and I will promise to look into it for you. </DIV>
