[Guest guest]

Congrats on the new job Pascha! No promises, but I'll TRY to make it!

It's a bit of a bear of a drive from San during rush hour!

Pascha, I'm so happy for you, moving on to another

phase of life. But I must say, I'm sad to see you go!

Of the support groups I've been to, I enjoyed yours

the most. I was trying to figure out a way to get

there more often, but then again, knew you would be

leaving soon. Well, absolute best of luck to you!
