RE: [amsat-bb] core issue

["Tim Zibrat" <tzibrat@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Very nicely put, I agree completely.

To Stacey and the rest of the command team, best of luck on your
"resuscitation" efforts.  I am personally appreciative of all of the hard
work the team has put forth since the concept of AO-40 began.  I have no
doubt they are working just as hard, if not more so now to revive her.  

Best Regards,
