  1. Roger, Enjoyed a football game last night and I must say it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time!!!! Hope to see you in Denver.

      Thanks Barb. We are total college football junkies, glad our favorite team USC is winning handily. Unfortunately I will be a no-show in Denver. Between some scheduling issues and the costs of two in college (our last year of this) things just didn’t work. I’m sure FINCON 12 will be a great conference and hate to miss it.
