I have loved watching this Tradition expand, and loved watchingits members grow and blossom. We have wonderful people in this Tradition, and I love youall. One year or twenty, I will be here for the duration (and then in all likelihood I will beback).So, as we go into the new calendrical year, I am pretty pleased and very excited for what isto come!
