<div><div dir="ltr">I've been traveling the past month and just returned home to where I can <br></div><div dir="ltr">access reliable internet. I never met Gert in person, in fact I don't <br></div><div dir="ltr">think I've met anyone on the bar in person. It was with deep sadness <br></div><div dir="ltr">that I read the news and we are all worse off for having lost such a <br></div><div dir="ltr">gentle spirit among us on the list and our current terrestrial home. My <br></div><div dir="ltr">thoughts are first with his family during what must be a incredibly <br></div><div dir="ltr">difficult time.

As I have <br></div><div dir="ltr">inevitably gotten older the nature of time means these shocks come more <br></div><div dir="ltr">frequently and most sadly become routine. In light of this, I've been <br></div><div dir="ltr">thinking a lot about Gert in particular and the Bar in general. I just <br></div><div dir="ltr">want to say, before anyone else slips away, you all are very important <br></div><div dir="ltr">to me and I have tremendous respect for this group - Each of you as <br></div><div dir="ltr">individuals, us as a group, the discussions, and even the arguments. I <br></div><div dir="ltr">cherish all of these things and I intend to be more active going forward <br></div><div dir="ltr">and not just read from the sidelines.
