February 2018 Newsletter
Hi all,
Welcome to the first newsletter of 2018! I do apologize for no newsletter in January. Long story short I returned from Scotland a few days into January to a lot of work, then I had a family health situation and I was just unable to get to the newsletter. I just had to skip it that month.
It was very nice however to receive so many e-mails asking about my well-being and so on. That was great and it was nice to know the newsletter was missed!
