As of the Oct meeting, I will be stepping down as.... do we even _have_ a leadership? We are more like a herd of cats. Anyhoo, the Oct 19 meeting will be my last. I am leaving Pomona/Los Angeles to look for work in greener pastures. Or at least sandier beaches in San Diego.

I appreciate the past 4 1/2 years of Socratic dialogue. It is high time for new blood and ideas to keep things fresh. I am sure you will be in the good hands of Mike Li and the other longtimers.

Best wishes to all,
-Bernard

PS I am getting rid of a bunch of books, philosophical and otherwise, that will be up for grabs at the Sunday meeting.
