[nagdu] Hello everyone

[Shannon Dyer]

It's nice to see you here, Natasha. I'm so sorry about Fossy. I didn't know she had passed away. How heart-wrenching that must have been for you!

We need to catch up soon. I'll be headed to class on August sixth, as my Caroline is retiring.

Anyway, I really like this list, and I hope you enjoy your time here.
