Wahoo!! Congrats to Doug Stevenson and Bonnie Corwin, they are the champs who made this possible, truly a great effort on their part. Kudos also to Diane Plampin and Alan McClellan for managing the processes and pushing in all the right places in the end game. David Comay made this a priority and helped with the integration, so this is also thanks to his constant leadership.
