David, This is astonishing news! Not only have I been a rabid follower of your contributions here over the years but we have worked (together? At? In spite of?) each other at numerous conferences, presentations and our other meetings. Your reputation, dedication and knowledge is incredibly detailed. Your patience, perseverance and diplomacy unmatched. And you're a damn fine auctioneer!
Please keep us posted as your circumstances change. When David talks, people listen!
