You are welcome ... thanks for sticking around.  You have much to
contribute to The Robot Group.

Mine was not a particularly effective term in office ... for that I can
only apologize.  We were not totally ineffectual last year; however, the
group will do significantly better with someone at the helm with superior
people skills, technological talent, vision and enthusiasm.

I stand at the ready to do all that I can to make Vern's administration a
rousing success.  I hope that all of the other members will do the same.


All the best....

Mike
