<div dir="auto">I'm still at the school in SoCal, though my position now splits my time between AV design/programming and technical direction. The New Year is a continuation of the fall for me, but I'm hoping life can continue to improve outside of work. I hope to make time for more visits and travel in the coming year. </div><div dir="auto">Happy New Year to you all,</div><div dir="auto">Steven R Hood</div><div dir="auto"><br></div></body>
