[Big Daves Rays]

yes congrats Miles.

I am excited about all the speakers too. If anyone is wondering if you should go to the symposium, Go. This probably won't be a yearly event and is a once in a lifetime chance to gather together and discuss stingrays. Even you European and Asian Folk should consider flying over for this. See you all there!
