Andrew, thanks for all you've done over the years. You were around when 
I got started in Nova and I learned a lot from you over that time. I'm 
happy to have gotten to know you more over that time, because another 
thing that's great about working in this community is not just working 
with others, but actually getting to know them in person and becoming 
friends with people you otherwise wouldn't have met. I wish you all the 
best.
