John, thank you.

I am happy to have helped you in any way possible. You have grown by leaps and bounds in 1.5 years, and I am very proud of you. Keep doing what you're doing and the music is your oyster.....no stopping you. I am glad you enjoyed the horn feast yesterday. It was fun!
Yes, I will miss you my friend, but I am happy you will be close to your children and your family again. I will get up that way. I have been wanting some lessons from Ramon Parcells for a long time as he is another one of my favorite orchestral players. If all goes as planned for the fall, I might be closer than you think

.
Of course, we will always have this place, telephones and email. I know, it isn't quite the same as getting together, but thank goodness technology will allow us to stay closer in touch. If you ever need anything, you know where to find me.
