Congratulations to Matt Williamson, Joseph Crane, and Duane Wible for their promotions.  The promotions are well earned, and I'm proud of all of you.  Continue the course, and press onward and upward!  I'm sure by now, you've caught the bug that keeps us up late and causes our eyes to strain.  But as you continue your journey through the ranks, remember to always have fun.

I also extend a warm Miami welcome to Tim Bamford, and challenge every KMIA captain to encourage him and celebrate in his milestones as well.  It's just the beginning, gentlemen.

Regards,

Dave
