Good to hear from you. You also look familiar. I've been going to the NCAL meetings off-and-on for the last several years so we've probably seen each other there.

I'm hoping to spend more time with Brian this summer. I've wanted to take a class with Charles Fox for years but it hasn't worked out yet. Even more difficult now that he's up in Portland.

I have a friend that moved to Arnold about the time we both retired from Intel. I was hoping to visit her one of these days and maybe I can stop by and say hi to you on the same trip if you don't mind.

Take care, Gerry
