Best to you and Andy, sincerely. Are the two of you going to SWFox? I am going, my first FoxPro conference in years. I view it as the end of an era. The three sponsors work really hard to put it on and this year's was touch and go. I suspect they will lose money on the deal. I will buy a meal with you and Andy. We can call it the Tom Piper memorial meal. He liked you, your brains and your sassiness. Of course he liked a great many women but he really did like you. One of the last emails I received from him was on his annual pilgrimage to the Royal Hawaiian hotel in Honolulu, a.k.a. the pink palace. My wife and I were newly married and he sent us both pink T shirts. He said he had his eye on two young German women. He thought he had a shot ;-) I miss that guy.

Unfortunately, we cannot make it to SWFox. The only time Andy uses VFP is to write data migrations into SQL Server. He has worked exclusively as an expert SQL Server developer and data architect for the last 7 or 8 years.

We both miss Tom too. He was at our wedding, you know. I actually have a picture of him wearing shoes!
