Dear Geoff:
It has been a pleasure and an honor to work with you during my term in the
Board. Is not only that I enjoyed your advice and support, but also that I
learned so much from your leadership. I wish you best of luck in your next
adventure. And I hope we will meet again to share a beer and talk about
past times :)
Patricio
