Re: Got the call
There’s a pretty limited candidate pool. A pretty broad skill set needed, and an aging group of experienced possibilities.

Re: Jaccqui/Thank you
I am glad you shared it with us. Sharing sometimes somehow lessens the
grief or worry. I am sorry for your loss but I am glass your dad was able

Ouch!
