Hi Everyone,

To be candid, while I heartily share Jeff's appreciation for Ron's ongoing contributions, I don't always take a look--which was the case in this instance. Jeff's note, however, compelled me to revisit and this is indeed a truly breathtaking image.


With gratitude to you both / Darryl
