Hey fellas....it's me and I am back......I have some serious jet lag and was able to get back home. I am back in the Seattle area to finish a prior commitment with the gov't. This will take me into September now.....so, I still won't be able to make the Open House.... 
First and foremost....YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! I cannot thank you guys enough for the kind words and support. Things have really been hay wire for me the past year or so and it is good to be back in the US!
For all in London.....I feel your pain and hope everyone there is safe and things will work out. You are a great bunch of people and I would love to go back under better terms that is for sure!
My wife cannot believe the hearts of everyone here. She does not know any of you and it really made her feel good knowing how caring and concerned you were for me. Again, THANKS!
With this time around, I have come to the conclusion that I will not continue this line of work anymore. There are plenty of people who can accomplish the tasks given and I will seek employment elsewhere after my commitment is done here. As mentioned before, I was "lucky" on several occasions and quite frankly, I do not want my family to through those "lucky" moments anymore. I have a job waiting for me in consulting and it requires no travel on my end. So, I feel I deserve to grow old with my wife and watch my daughter grow up with me there to guide her. So, life is good and soon I will get to sit back and enjoy it more.
YOU GUYS ROCK! Thanks a million!

No. Not really. I will be informed at my de-brief and what not. Plus, putting that info out could become a problem especially on the 'Net.

Personally, I think him being an actual rocket scientist would disqualify him.....you have to be kind of an idiot to do what I do/did.
Maybe he could work for you.....help you design all the guitars and what not? LOL
