Hi Morpheus,
What a delight it is to see your nick in The Fort again. I've missed
you. VV is back too and it's like a Fort class reunion today. The Fort
is in the middle of a wonderful Renaissance these days. I hope you
will have to time to stay and be a part of it. Mephi would be proud.
Welcome back,
Doc
