[Foundation-l] My resignation

[Jeff V. Merkey]

Danny,

I wish you the very best in your future endeavors. Your contributions to 
the Foundation and all of the projects in general
stand on their own merit. You have a lot to be proud of, and have left a 
lasting mark in the hearts of all of us that your life
has touched.

Love ya,

Jeff
