nice to see you posting, sir! keep it coming and have a sick time!
Preston – Just got back from WNC and saw the effects of what you and others did a year and a half ago. I hadn't realized before how much of a crucial role you played in the 'revolution', and was amazed at how many, and how reverentially your name came up throughout the conference.
