Hi To All, I wanted to let all of you know how impressed I am with the talent that we have in this organization. The abundance of expertise in our mist is almost overwhelming. I have spent last night and the complete day at the PRA web-site learning the group descriptions and trying to put faces on our fearless leaders. In doing this, I took a long, hard look at the very well-documented group descriptions, photographs in the descriptions and some very well organized web-sites for some of the groups. Up until the past few days, I went to the web-site to get updated news or a quick answer to an urgent question. I really didn't spend the time to look at each individual group. It was truly my loss. There are a number of groups that have some rather intriguing notes in their descriptions, some common areas of migration along with common time frames. All of these factors have the possibility of sharing a common ancestor from another group. What can I say? I'm excited!! So, consider yourself warned. My head is swimming with questions for most of you. I am also hoping, as we talk, that some of your talents will rub off on my mouse and travel to my head. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
