I would like to "third" that emotion.  Rodger, I've not had the pleasure of 
working very closely with you on a daily basis as some others have, but on those 
occasions when our paths did cross, you were always friendly, professional, and 
helpful.  I hate to see you leave, but I wish you well.  (As someone who went to 
the same high school and college as Jimmy Buffett, and who has lived vicariously 
through his songs and novels, I'm a bit envious of your upcoming voyage, too.) 
May your travels be enlightening and personally rewarding.  Take care and be 
safe out there in the big ole ocean!
