>Greetings to one and all,
>
>I ... realize that there is a large group of friends that I have lost contact with now that my life has transitioned from FoxPro guru to honest work. Life, depending on how you choose to look at it, is a hoot and a wonderful ride. Here is what has happened to me.
>
>1. Eight years after my wife's death, I am happily married again. Deb works for the Jackson Lab in Bar Harbor and is a scientific curator and hula dancer.
>2. We live in Pamlico County NC, and are awfully proud of the county stop light. It's a far cry from New York City.
>3. I've gone into business. Check out www.acadiaguideservice.com and see what happens when you work hard at escaping computers work.
>4. I spend yesterday cutting cars in a junk yard with really big hydraulic scissors practicing extrication. I'm a volunteer fireman and an EMT for Pamlico County Rescue Squad. I get to drive big vehicles with loud sirens and lots of lights.
>5. My kids have grown and, although they have all had their share of problems, are doing well. My youngest is a sophomore at UGA, Nina is working in Wilmington NC, Nick is a Paramedic in LA, Tom, after four years in the marines and two difficult tours in Iraq is a freshman at Harvard, and Sasha, my eldest, has put aside her PhD program for the moment in favor of a job with UNESCO in Paris.
>
>Life goes on.
>
>I hope all of you are doing well and, despite the fact that I am, for the first time in a long time, truly happy, I really miss you guys.
>
>Love and Hugs to you all
>Mac

>And I am pleased to note that Les Pinter is now part of the Strataframe Team at Microfour.
