A note from Dave
Good Morning. I apologize for this extra mailing - the first newsletter that was sent today was accidentally a repeat of the newsletter from 2 days ago. Somehow when sending it, my system got confused. Please do accept my apologies, and enjoy the (correct) newsletter for yesterday, April 6th.
Best,
