Hi Dave,

I've been here almost as long as you, started in contract assembly in 1987
in Silicon Valley after I got out of the Navy at NAS Moffett Field.
You've been an immense help to me over the years. I feel sort of melancholy
that you're leaving.

Means that it won't be too many more years that I'll need to start thinking
about the same thing...but not right now 😀

Maybe I'll see you out here in Idaho with your Kayak on Payette River at
the North Fork Championship in June of this year. Big National event!

Steve
