Alan, Best of luck in your new position. May it be everything you hope it will be. Your insights and help have been invaluable over the years. As ombudsman, you have been a worthy successor to Lyn Hadley. Fortunately for us you will not be kept in isolation. Has IBM found someone to fill your current position?
