Thank you, Judy. I appreciate your kind words more than you know.
Shout out to @mendesbob.bsky.social for his leadership and the transparency in which he has approached his job!

For what it's worth, I send him my "Year-End-Leadership Appreciation" award (which may be a simple text saying thank you for your leadership while doing a hard job).
