The meeting with Cathi at our UG was excellent. I would like to thank you also for modifying your presentation for UGs and getting it to her. She told me about your laptop dieing at the last minute and hunting for an outlet once you got to the terminal at the airport. One of our members was on that same flight, so she and I were hanging around the baggage claim for about 15 minutes until her luggage arrived, but I saw no sign of Cathi. So I got a little anxious that something had happened [missed flight, etc.]. Once Cathi got to baggage claim, she told me the story. So I do appreciate the extra effort you went through to get her the materials for our meeting.

I appreciate you trying to get a later flight. A surprise appearance would have created an awesome tag-team with you and Cathi. I think everyone at our meeting was just overwhelmed by what they saw in VFP8, and Cathi did a terrific job presenting it.

>So you know, the VFP MVP awards focused on people helping VFP developers, and there were about 10% of the 44 or so MVPs who specialize in other areas beyond VFP helping VFP developers and the FoxPro community. Next year things might change with the MVP program where we either have MVPs with multiple areas of expertise or simply let MVPs pick their area, we are not sure yet. Since you are an MVP Mark, you can provide your feedback to me directly anytime. Thanks for all your support and help.

>I heard the Dallas user group went well last week with Cathi speaking. I actually looked into the availablity of a later flight for my lay over in Dallas to see if it was possible that I did a surprise showing at the Dallas user group for fun that night, but it was not possible and I needed to be back to work on Friday.
