Tomorrow, January 18, is the very first birthday of our favorite pond
![fish o(](https://www.worldwidewatergardeners.org/forum/Smileys/smilies_smf/fish.gif)
and watergardening forum .
![Grin ;D](https://www.worldwidewatergardeners.org/forum/Smileys/smilies_smf/grin.gif)
This forum was hatched and birthed by Jerry when he realized the need of a forum that had many functioning bells and whistles
![whistle {:-P;;](https://www.worldwidewatergardeners.org/forum/Smileys/smilies_smf/whistle.gif)
for ponding people
![Yes (8:-)](https://www.worldwidewatergardeners.org/forum/Smileys/smilies_smf/yes.gif)
. Jerry also recognized the fact that the forum needed monitoring by responsible people and was willing to take on the job

. Please join me in giving Jerry and Sean our thanks and appreciation for a job well done
