==============================================================
Gosh darnit, I miss you guys!
Congrats to everyone with all of the great things that are going on in each of your lives! I hope things just continue to progress more and more! Happy Birthday to you, Keith!
I’m glad that I’ve had a chance to see Erika and Belen, but since I’ve started a new position where I’m traveling ALL of the time, I’m hoping to be in a city near each of you soon!
Much love to G5!

Hi Keith,
Wish you a very happy Birthday..!! Have a great time
It’s already been an year.. The memories are still very fresh in my mind. I really miss all those great days. Last year, this week we were rushing to complete projects & finalizing our presentations..
Playing golf, eating fufu, early morning monkey search, playing darts, wonderful excursions on the weekends & wonderful team work to complete the projects.. We had so much of fun in just one month time..
Truly, ours is the BEST TEAM ever.. Wish we’d meet again some day!!
Freddie: Congratulations on your new house.. :) Please share some pictures..
Thanks & Regards,

Re: One year later….
Hi,
I often talk about our G5 experience with friends and others, I do not know why, a lot of things become more clear with the flow at time.
Last week Regina was the most close to me (about 4 hours fly from Dalian to Hong Kong, Taipei). But I am still so happy to know this, just like one guy in island after air crash shouts at the near boat.
Miss all of you. Must be let me if anyone come to Beijing or Dalian. Must!
Have a good working day !

Hello, ¡Hola , Hallo, Ello, Ahoj, 您好,??????, and Top O’ the Mornin’ to Ya (that one is for you, Roy, and I hope the others are correct),
I think we need a G5 summit! It really is very hard to believe it’s been a year already! I have been thinking of all of you, especially as the month of October has been passing by, remembering what we were doing ‘that week’.
It certainly does appear that the girls have been much better about staying in touch and Belen has even come to visit already! Hopefully she and Carlos enjoyed their stay in Charleston (Savannah and Asheville too), which was still too short. I must admit that I was tempted to surprise her one day by pounding ‘fufu’ and putting a ball of pizza dough in some tomato soup, although she may have actually preferred that over the real thing.
Roy, I was disappointed to see the Sabres schedule does not include Calgary this season, but hopefully next year and I promise I will be there. No excuses! Bring on the wings and Canadian beer!!
Freddie, congrats on your new house!! I forgot to tell you about our 3 day Dave Matthews concert in NYC last month- it was awesome!
Erika, thanks for rounding all of us up and glad to hear you are enjoying life! I miss all of the different candy!
Anouk, hopefully you are doing well and keep us posted on your baby’s arrival! We’ll have to figure out his or her Ghanaian name and we can always have some of that awful clove porridge I made the mistake of eating early one morning exported to you…
GoG and AB- it was great speaking with both of you earlier today!!
Srini, I hope you’ve continued playing golf… you must be preparing for the PGA already!
Martin, I’m sure you are as glad as I am that the NHL season is underway- hope you have been playing as often as you can!
Herbie, I wonder if you and Anouk have played darts and been able to replicate your double dart achievements?!
Will, every time I see ‘Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka’, I remember you drinking that whole bottle at once!
Hope everyone is doing well and look forward to catching up soon!
Keith
ps- if anyone needs about a lb. or so of shea butter, I still have 98.2% of the container remaining… Belen can attest to that!

I know … have been thinking about our 1 year anniversary all month!
By the way, the girls seem to be ruling in the reunion category … Freddie travelled to Mexico to visit Ms. Erica, and Regina and Erica have connected …. Regina I think you and Friddie met up in London? I think Belen has met with at least one of you as well?
Le girls rule, as usual.
Keith … was looking forward to hosting you for a Sabres game vs the Flames this year … but your beloved team doesn’t come to Calgary this season.
With fondest memories of my best team ever!!
