[AccessD] Thanksgiving

[jack drawbridge]

Good luck with your small get together Arthur. We had close (and
vaccinated) family yesterday for Thanksgiving turkey dinner.  I want to
second your thoughts for the friends on AccessD. Although we may never meet
in person, it's much like friends we've all known throughout the years.
