Good morning and thanks for the information, Sir.

I really appreciate it though I also equally wish you were there.
You would have not only increased the number of attendance by
a significant 1 but grace the meeting by your warm presence.

Let's plan for the next meeting in June.

Cheers and God Bless!

Richard Yarl
