My deepest apologies for not being able to attend. I had a recent injury that needed immediate medical attention and was advised by my physician to stay down until the question of surgery could be settled. It's good news, no surgery, and I'm on a slow mend. (Fortunately, I'm stubborn). Although you're probably understanding of the situation, please know that I was really looking forward to seeing my old friends from Quantum, and making new ones with you. It was disappointing to not be able to be there. Best to you all and know I'm proud to be part the Quantum family.
