Eileen,

Thank you for this beautiful note to all of us on this board! Although I am very, very new to this board, I have come to the point that any time that I have a spare moment, I check to see if you might have had the time and the inclination to post a new note to someone elses topic or to start a new thread like this one again. I have been extraordinarily rewarded today, not only by your perspective on what it means to be a part of the wonderful new technology that Poet represents to the industry and, in turn, to all of us, but also the incredible personal message that you lovingly shared with us all.

What a wonderful thing that perspective is! Perspective seems to moderate us and calm us in a very rewarding and reassuring way.

I so admire your style of writing, but more importantly your message is always succinct and purposeful. I am so sorry for your loss. Your message has not been lost on me. I'm taking my wife and daughter out for a surprise dinner at their favorite restaurant tonight.

Thank you, Eileen!
