Gerry, Great news that you are staying with our family.  I remember that day 
when Greg told Chris and I that your wife had passed.  We had just met her 
just a few days before, and enjoyed getting to know both of you.  I have 
followed you closely ever since, and while mostly lurking here on the LUG 
the past few years, I am still honored to be a part of this family group. I 
have met in person many of the group, including Lluis , Ted and many others.

Thanks for staying around,
Gene
