Dear Bob and all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When you emailed me last week about the schedule change to
accommodate the Santa Barbara request, I hadn’t yet heard the
news, and didn’t connect the dots, that a new venue had been
selected for the network office. I’m so sorry. You all have been
the glue and spirit, and the important nuts and bolts that have
held LTER together ever since I joined. It is a nearly thankless
job, and I hope you can look past the current disappointment at
all the things you (and all of us) have achieved. In my
experience with these things, you set the gold standard. My
thanks - looking forward to seeing at the ASM. I hope you can
approach it with a sense of pride and achievement and not just
bittersweet feelings. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please pass my thoughts on to the other Net Office staff</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Warm regards - duck</div>
