Hello!
Well, the trees have dropped their leaves now - all that's left is the leaf bagging and raking this week. As a sign of the times, the theme of this issue is about giving thanks for our customers, contacts and family, while at the same time starting to look ahead. While working on a new program coming up fo release shortly, there's a lot of time spent planning and we're all in the same boat. The planning is both business and personal at this busy time of year with the added COVID restrictions testing our patience. Enjoy this issue and do let me know if you have any suggestions for content.
Looking forward
