 I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of you at Liz Smith's Celebration in Tampa tomorrow.  It's going to be a fun day!  I had a great time last weekend at the Mardi social that Marjory Cacioppo held last weekend.  She didn't advertise it because she has limited space for people to attend but we had a great time.  Thank you for all you did to make this a special day, Marj.
