Dear Dave,
  I have read with continuing dismay all the discussion and support your
decision. What some of the dissidents do not seem to realize is that death
affects us all and I would hope that in the untimely death of any of the other
dealers, their heirs and assigns, could conceivably, do the same at a future
COA. Hopefully DEATH will not be a frequent visitor to our ranks.
