Phil--
Someone said it was a thankless job. Well, I sure want to say thanks! I
cannot begin to tell you how your finding me a slot in the chief's row
helped me do what I had to do in this very difficult week.
Thursday I basically left the spot empty as I knew some chiefs from the
second row would need spaces. It was there Friday when I went to reclaim it.
By next year you ought to have the system humming!
