  1. It takes about FIVE years to get any organization started. To the naysayers, the “trolls,” the personal attackers, the anonymous, the lazy, the corrupt, the cheap, the quitters, the quick fixers,etc. I have just one BURNING response: BE PATIENT!! All beginnings are messy, and we’re only through a little more than one half of our own necessarily “messy” stage. Remember why we’re all here, form our organizations accordingly. “Begin with the end in mind. Do first things first.” And Happy Birthday, Brookhaven!!–Tom Reilly
