Re: career move

Despite the fact that I am most happy for you, Susan, I must state how much
we will miss your energy, your creativity, your commitment to this
community, and your wonderful laugh.  Thank you for not moving away
completely and for continuing to spend the larger part of your life in
Moscow.  My sincere good wishes to you in your new career.  Since it's what
you love to do, you will be terrific at it.  See you at the Farmer's Market,
Lori Keenan
