Hi
I would appreciate your consideration for an upgrade for myself.
My original membership started back in 2004 and over the years I have enjoyed the great assistance offered by our members.
I referred many authors to become members over the years but never advised them to enter my name when they joined so there are no stats indicating such. I was primarily interested in them sharing the advantages of being a member of this dynamic venue.
I was honored with the Preferred Author designation many years ago. When I have been able to be active I try to assist others with reviews (115) have 5 merit badges
I am recovering from a Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) that occurred in March this year. My funds are very limited right now. I had enough GPs to renew until July 31, 2016 but am now down to just over 3,000 GPs.
If you are unable to grant this upgrade I will understand and attempt to rejoin in the next year or so when my situation improves.
Thank you for your consideration.
