It is my sad duty to tell you that we will be losing our own Cassie Lauterette, DLF's administrative associate, at the end of the month. The reason is a happy one -- the computer consulting business she runs with her husband Jeff is taking off and she needs to work full-time on that. I'm sure she would appreciate email notes of thanks from those who have worked with her ([log in to unmask]) and she will be coming back under contract to oversee the Spring Forum in New Orleans in April, so many of you will see her there to say goodbye in person. We are busy now trying to make the transition to new staff as minimally disruptive to the various and sundry DLF operations as we can.
