  1. Thank you Dr. Clark for your constant work and necessary aid to those of us in the field and on the ground. Thank you for not hiding “the candle” under the bushel. Switch to a more familiar metaphor for me, thank you for passing the word “over the ship’s 1MC system” (ship-wide public announcements by the Captain).

    It would be a great and grand loss, if we ever lost your voice, to wit, if you ever gave up blogging. Please never do that.

    Good Commanders, like yourself, remain in constant communications with the troops in the bilges and other parts of the ship.

    In one of my own posts, in commending some of your works, I took to calling you “Bishop Clark,” a term you would eschew (but you get the point, I trust), but your leadership is giving good guidance, commentary, leads, book recommendations, and help.

    I saw a post at Ref21 yesterday that was unhelpful, dispiriting, and–frankly–pretty poor re: one specific point.

    Amidst your manifold duties, this forum is a daily must for this disabled Vet, homebound, but able to read and help–in my venue–others. Please never lay down the flag you’ve unfurled. On battalion runs of 900 men, the Commander is at the front. Next to him is the Sergeant Major. To the side, a Marine carry the “colours,” or the flag.

    You’ve unfurled the flag and are giving “upfront” leadership.

    On another note, thanks to Wes for his help on the de Bres’ commentary, an helpful data point on the subject of the Reformation in the troubled period of 1560-1570.

    Regards,
    Philip
