Garfield, I have deeply appreciated your guidance, humility, and humor whenever I have come to you for advice. You respect for our communities and desire to support them no matter how crazy the situation has been inspiring. You could easily create and enforce rigid processes and rules, but instead consider each situation uniquely and think creatively to support our affiliates and individual volunteers. I really appreciate that level of commitment. You will be missed. . Alex
