Allow me to first thank the VATUSA Staff for their hard work during this time.  They are an extremely cohesive and hard-working staff, and definitely kept operations on the tracks.  Also thanks to the ARTCC staffs, from the ATMs all the way down.  Training has continued, promotions have been made, and events are taking place.  I do apologize again for the unforseen delays.

Your new Director requires no introduction.  His credentials and experiences, both real world and VATSIM are vast, and having held the position before, this is nothing new to him.

Please welcome Gary Millsaps back as VATUSA1.  I know he'll do a fine job.

Congrats Gary!
