Hi Wayne,
I've been out of town for a week and just saw your e-mail on the status of
WL.
I certainly hope that WL will continue to be developed and a new person
found to handle the sales. I'm sure there's somebody out there that can do
the job.
It has been a real pleasure dealing with Ron (and you) over the years. I
wish Ron all the best in his endeavors and a speedy recovery from his
surgery.
