Re: CCIE #: 25581!

Hey Chris,

I surely knew this day would come and I couldn't be happier for you.
I was thrilled to carpool with you because it gave me a little extra
time to get to know you a little better. I was very impressed. And I
haven't forgotten that fantastic seafood dinner you picked the tab up
for in spite of your impoverished circumstances! Thanks again for that!

I hope your new career is still going fantastically Chris - you
deserve all that you've earned in this life my friend.

Congratulations!

Scott
