    nice to read some good news in these not so good times. Congratulations to you – not for simply ticking off an anniversary date – for having the vision, passion and drive to get to this point. To infinity and beyond!

    Hey Mike:

    Congratulations on all your success – and the team’s. I’ve known you a long time now and congrats on stepping off the cliff (with great integrity) and “finding the up-draft before the splat!”.

    All the best for continued future success.

    Ciao – Sandee
