Steve, SAC, it members and myself have all profited from you willingness to
devote time and energy to furthering the cause of the many facets of astronomy.
To this end there is a big thanks due for you. We look forward to seeing what
develops in the next few years - knowing that you're not giving up on us or
astronomy.
Some how or another, as in the past, SAC will continue and someone will step up
to the plate and take over with some fresh new ideas.
Clear skies & tanks o' gas,
aj
