Hey Bob, I realized I forgot to post on July 3rd. I'm sorry been really busy I still think about you, I know you're up there shaken your head at these new kids coming on. I also know you'd teach them the way you taught me; I try to remember that when I'm training them. It's hard sometimes to remember we were all new at some point in our career. I've got under 5 years to go, I'm now the "old man" of the squad looking forward to finishing this job up. I hope your smiling and teaching them up there as well, until me meet again my friend.
