Hello everyone!

Spring has sprung… and I for one have been quite busy. It has been a while since the last newsletter so I will just give you the cream of the current crop of news and support information I have been gathering.
Remember to have fun and share your passion!

From Rob Styler… here is a link from a recent radio interview with David Gregg, the CEO of Citizenre. This is a long stream and David is in the last part. Before David, Jeff Wolfe, who has been active critic of ours, shares his model and his perspective. He is not aggressively against us in this interview, but he suggests that we are not real.
David’s responses are great and the enthusiasm of the hosts is priceless!
