If indeed Tony is confirmed in this new role at MMA, despite being a competitor to VFMAC, I wish that century-old institution all the best in the future under his stewardship. - - Rick Forno '90 '92C PS: Class of '92, don't forget to register for our 20th Reunion Weekend coming up on 27-29 April! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.16 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk9K2UMACgkQKWZyO29ebPbrYgCgyVcmmaH7Qw/Huw1n6MGMg/yF 6QQAoKSIrpk/9sjU+/9N/THwWz1xSyR8 =LxHd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
