[DeTomaso] December was NOT kind to POCA Members!

[Mark Charlton]

Jack,

Thank you for sharing the news. Those of us at a great distance only find these things out this way.

Please pass my best wishes and thoughts to Judy, Les and Gerry. 

And, of course to you and the rest of the POCA team that keep things rolling along to the benefit of the rest of us.
