Thanks for sharing your schedule, Josh. Yes we had to move quickly to
find a time so we could start the conversation. Today's meeting won't be
the end, just the beginning. As agreements and understandings develop
they will be shared so that those who are able can volunteer to support
the direction.

Safe travels Josh. See you soon,
Anita.
