We said our goodbyes and well wishes to Adrian Pelkus, our longstanding President.  He and Amy have relocated to South Carolina.  His office in San Marcos is still open, with Danny Gali there to help!  We sent Adrian off with a toast and heartfelt words from many group members.

 

We will miss you Adrian!!
