Just wanted to take a moment to thank all of the controllers and pilots who helped make Newark Live possible. It was a pleasure to work with and control all of you. The first round of photos can be found at https://picasaweb.google.com/11642804075137...CN6Ptu71kfibOg#.

The list of prize winners will be posted soon!

As with all great things, my staff tenure at New York ARTCC must come to an end. I am truly humbled to have worked with and instructed such a great group of people, and I am so proud of the achievements that you have accomplished both on the network and in your personal lives. I am grateful that you let me share my knowledge with you and that you let me learn something from each of you. To all those who I have worked with on events - especially those at ZBW and ZDC - your efforts and contributions have been outstanding. I have truly enjoyed my time in this role and have been well supported with the work and outcomes we achieved. I genuinely hope you enjoyed the events we put together. They provide me with a sense of pride and gratitude that is indescribable.

See you on the scopes.

Alex,

Your hard work and dedication were much appreciated. My hat is tipped to all the ARTCC level staff who put in incredible amounts of time for the enjoyment of others.

Alex,

Thanks for the invite and the hospitality you and ALL of the vZNY Staff and Controllers showed me this past weekend. I enjoyed myself immensely and hope I, like many others, made new friends and experienced the chief value of VATSIM...the members. Nothing I can say is more valuable than what others have and will express here; so I'll just add - thank you!
