Hi Gerald & Janice ----- thank you very much for your message and kind thoughts. Until we learned of Sandy's recurrence in late February, I had planned to attend this year's convention and am disappointed that it will not be possible. Sandy's most recent CT scans indicate that chemotherapy is making progress again and we are hopeful that she will be back in remission by the end of the year.

As for the convention, and as we used to say in Brooklyn, "Wait 'til next year!" In the meanwhile, thank you both for all the hard work and dedication you have contributed to our hobby. ----- jim o\-S
