Hi all, Thanks to those of you who have RSVPed for the online memorial for Rob Casson. A couple of quick notes: 1) We're compiling photos of Rob to share and present during the memorial. If you've sent some already, thanks - but if you'd like to submit photos, please email me or Declan Fleming at [log in to unmask] 2) Per a request from Deborah Casson, Rob's mother, we will be recording the memorial service on Zoom so we can share the video with his family. We wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of this well in advance. All best, Mark -- Mark A.
