Hi fellows,

The title of this message is not to be taken seriously, of course :)

As the end of the YEAR is approaching, I would like to thank for the support I've been receiving here at UT, starting with you, Michel, that keeps running this marvelous source of knowledge and exchange of ideas, solutions and problem solving thoughts. Thank you so much!

I've been attending UT since 2001, with a little gap from 2006-2012 (at the end it was not that little!), and words can't express all my gratitude for the help and guidance I received from all of you folks, help that was essential to develop my work, support my family and raise two wonderfull girls!

I cant't nominate all and each one that were so generous to help (and stand by) this stubborn guy (that is not so bad at all!). Some of them are not attending here any more, but think my thanks will reach them, at the very least they should know they still are in my mind.

In my last project I received valuable support from some fellows, that, to me, represented more than fellows, but friends, so I'd like to send a special thanks to them, and I would like to think they can represent the non mentioned ones:

In alphabetical order, not of importance of the support they gave me (of course! They were of the most importance to me):

- Gregory Adam
- Victor Anderson
- Sergey Berezniker
- Tore Bleken
- Borislav Borissov
- Al Doman
- Bill Fitzgerald
- Luis Maria Guayan
- Christian Isberner
- Martina Jindrová
- Matt Slay

Thanks so much and happy hollydays to all of you, great fellows of Universal Thread!

Heartly,

Fernando
