Hello, Thanks very much to Carolyn, Hudson, Jason, Wayne, Paul and Steve for following up personally and appropriately regarding the issues I raised on Friday. Having met Wayne now my opinion is that he is going to have a strong positive impact as the new night manager.
Gwen and Pierre are active as the organizers of the Lower Obs patrols, and away until mid-August. So I'd like to suggest that a Lower Obs ONW/Obsid meeting is held sometime thereafter.
