As the person who helped to put me and the AZ team on the right tract, 
the guy that was always there for me when I had a question, dumb or not, 
I wish you luck. I know that your reasons have justification, and I have 
no doubt that we will always have the close working relationship and 
friendship  that we have always had. I've said it before and I'll say it 
again, You've always been there for me when I needed it!! So you will 
always have my respect and gratitude.
