I won't be back in time for this panel. I am honored to be a captain with the Ca 500 mile spiritual relay that normally finishes on Thursday but this year the advisors added a day and we'll finish with a rally in Willits on Friday June 26. I didn't know about the leadership role or the extra day when you initially contacted me. I'll return to sj around 10pm or so that day, June 26.
