Thank you, Mark, for recognizing all of us here.

For what its worth, developing the first online dance course at Simon
Fraser was a tremendous eye-opener for me. Of course money and technology
is important..but bringing the initiative to the dance area was first and
foremost... yes, indeed..the most crucial...and then the TIME involved -
everyday the - nitty gritty over months and months and months of
negotiating to maintaining the dance integrity - this was perhaps the most
challenging, and left a profound mark.
