I realize this has nothing to do with music, but I've just received some news that I want to share with my friends on this site .... my 'other life' (the day job) is in the auto insurance field, and even at my advanced age (61) my company wants staff members to continue with their education ..... for about 6 years, I have been taking various courses and have acquired a couple of insurance industry designations ... today I received word that I have successfully completed the final part of the CPCU program, which is a 9 part series of national exams on various subjects relative to the insurance industry, including law, and accounting and finance. This is a rather prestigious designation in the industry, and I am very proud to have accomplished it ... AND to make it even better, conferment by the national CPCU society will be made in Orlando, Fla. in October ... so "I'm going to Disneyworld!!!" t.

Hi Tony
Just like to add my congratulations very nice to know your company recognizes all the hard work regardless of age it’s a shame that here in the UK more companies don’t adopt that way of thinking. Enjoy Florida its FANTASTIC. It makes adults want to become children again. Cheers Pete

Tony: Couldn't let this great news go without adding my personal congrats, too! I know how hard you must have worked for this fine achievement and no doubt it is well deserved! Thanks for sharing the great news with your friends on the Forum--and we ARE your friends! (Please be sure to say "Hi" to Mickey and all his friends in Florida; we have met them all several times both in Orlando (Florida) and Anaheim (California); perhaps they will remember us!) Hearty congratulations, Tony!
