Congratulations to all! Thank you, Karl, for the great write up and announcement of the changes at Lectrosonics. I sure hope the part about Larry "continuing his presence on industry-related social media sites" (that would be us here at JWSOUND) is true --- Larry has been a welcomed participant here, helping all of us with everything relating to wireless technology, even for those of us who don't necessarily use Lectro products. 

 

Have a great time in retirement Larry, please do check in here every once in awhile, you will always be welcome.
