Welcome, Leonard and congratulations to all the members of the Court family!! There is nothing more magical than the moment of birth, when we see a new life come into being. The first few days are also a precious time!!

I am at the other end of the cycle now, with children moving out of the house, to university and careers. Cherish these early days and years, as they will vanish in an instant. And, of course, all of us will understand your occasional absences from the forum, as the time with the family is certain more important than the time with your Heuer buddies. Still, we will expect some middle-of-the-night wake-ups from Leonard, which may be the ideal time to stay in touch with the forum!!

All the best,

Jeff
