G’day Everyone,
I’m sad to report that Bill and Julie announced that they are moving to Delaware next month. I’m sure you all join me in wishing them well in their new home and thanking them for their contributions to our group over the years. Who will forget Bill encouraging us to end our meetings with a conga line? Bill and Julie, we’ll miss you, but we hope we’ll see you again when you’re over this way and that you’ll stay in touch. Skype anyone?
