Just a quick note to say thanks for the numerous emails and cards (e- and snail mail) regarding the recent loss of a relative. The sentiments were very kind and I think you. I look forward to meeting many of you at the symposium. Feel free to come up and introduce yourself- -I'll be the good-lookin' guy in the colorful Hawaiian shirt. Bill (aka BIG and *I* know his middle name) will be the good-lookin' guy NOT in a Hawaiian shirt. This is important to know because it seems we are always being confused with each other (NOT the same as being confused, my normal state). I don't mind being confused with Bill, but it think it harms his reputation to be confused with me. If you have never been to a ferret symposium, you should go. It is worth every dime and each moment. I hope to see most of you at the Hawaiian party! Bob C [Posted in FML issue 4285]
