Hi, Phil: Like Siobhan, I am also excited for your efforts and in particular, for compiling all these names and links and including some of us in your list. People like you, Andy and several others I cannot readily mention here are not only asset to us at DDN but also a challenge and worthy examples for us to emulate.Thanks once again! Prince M.

Having my DDN profile is a great tool for me in my work - people ask me what I do - I just refer them to my DDN profile!
