<DIV><FONT size=3>Hey Guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Sorry I've mostly disappeared since
Bellingham/Vancouver. In the days before the convention I had
to start devoting a lot more time to caring for my 92-year-old mom and that
continues to be the case. Several of you have written to ask if I was
ok, and I really appreciate that. I'll look forward to participating
more as soon as I can.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>I also really appreciate the way absolutely everyone pitched
in and contributed to the success of Bellingham. It was great to see old
friends and meet the new ones I had only known online. The
generosity with which Dr. Phil shared his time, knowledge, and experience was
phenomenal (besides treating the whole outfit to lunch!).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>Best regards,</FONT></DIV>
