It's been a lot of fun planning our annual gatherings at Copia for the past few years. 8-) But the time has come for me to pass the baton to Wally 13. My wife and I are retiring and moving a greater distance from Madison and given the uncertainties of winter weather and travel, I feel the need to put the planning and coordination in the hands of someone who can be there with certainty. Mike is committed to continuing our traditions and making these gatherings a reason to come to Madtown 8-). I will continue in my role through the Copia 2020 event. To the extent I can, I will assist behind the scenes to be sure that Mike, Scott, and Mike are able to carry on. 8-)

Again, I appreciate each of you for making these gatherings a highlight on the QJ calendar! 8-)

And before any rumors start, I'm not leaving QJ.
