Dear group members,

As many of you know, I have been as open as possible regarding my decision to leave the country due to the US situation.

I have accepted and signed last night the offer from the University of Toronto. I will be starting there officially on July 1st, 2018. We will be working out transition plans for everybody as discussed in person and group meeting.

Most of you know it was a difficult decision, but I think it is the best one for my family and myself. 

I am thankful for the support of all of you, especially during this transition period where I will rely on you regarding work on specifying equipment, computers, etc. over there.

Also thank you to all of you that are going to move there.

Finally, of course, have a great holiday break and a fantastic 2018. I am blessed with a fantastic team of people!

Alan
