Rich,Dedication, devotion, passion and honesty are an achievement by itself. What you gave to Fly! is all of that and a little bit more.Congratulations!Mannie

Thank you all! I should have known that Tom wasn't above putting me on the spot in front of an audience. My wife and I were very priviledged to meet each and every one of the people at the conference -- you made us feel at home. I still have a twinge of guilt with all the accolades that were delivered to me, but Tara says that I should accept them graciously because she felt (as did I) that everyone was completely sincere with their support. I truly am a lucky man.For those who weren't there, maybe we'll have a chance to meet at some point in the future (if I have anything to do with that choice!).Rich

Mark, I know that the plan was to record everything and then later get it put in a format that we could provide off our website, but I'm not sure how long that might take. There will likely be an announcement on the frontpage when we know what is going to happen.

You are a lucky man, but it is also entirely deserved. Congratulations for this recognition. I'm sure we're not finished with you yet.

Congratulations Rich!A greeting from 14000 virtual feet, in Your fabulous B200. :-) Andre
