Dear Bob and all,

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.

Please pass my thoughts on to the other Net Office staff

Warm regards - duck
